That said, close to toss-up districts means GOP voters would likely stay home on election day, allowing the Dem challenger to win, knowing the GOP candidate is a "sell out." It would feel like safe R districts would have less to risk. Anyone in a competitive district would get primaried AND be signing their own death warrant. Suffice to say however in those districts, the fact that the clown show is happening at all is putting the career at risk as moderate people will seek to vote out incompetence. I think the odds are better if they vote Jeffries. I think most people will understand that SotH is just a functional position to keep the government open and not a declaration of political allegiance. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://i.imgur.com/dQgC4kv.jpg <cite>Tyranthraxus posted [p:976750261] in House Spea...

Inohira 10/19/23 5:32:27 PM #188:	Cemith posted... It's astounding anybody sees the absolute shambles the GOP is in, and is like "Yep those are my guys." Front runner for Republican candidate picked up his second gag order a few days ago. Front runner for Speaker of the House has still not conceded the election was fair and had a hand in the sexual assault and cover up of hundreds of athletes. Well some people value having a "marketplace of ideas" even if it leads to chaos and toxicity like this. Like if you're a Democrat and you don't like Hakeem Jeffries you're pretty much fucked since everyone else supports him. If you're a Democrat and you want an insurgent outsider candidate you're fucked because Dems go for proven unifiers instead. The Democratic party is a lot more functional but it provides less avenues for deviation. --- 1 line break(s), 121 characters allowed <cite>Inohira posted [p:976750629] in House Spea...

Its a meeting that is unlikely to produce a result, as some of the 22 holdouts are not entering the meeting in protest, and many of those against Jordans candidacy say they wont be swayed in his favor. They're probably setting bad precedents here. As obnoxious as the Freedom Caucus is, even they didn't just outright refuse to talk to McCarthy forever. That the moderates are just going "lolno" to talking to the frontrunner for the Speakership (even considering the fact that it's a clown like Jim Jordan) is gonna provoke similar behavior from rivals and make it literally impossible for the party to choose a Speaker. --- 1 line break(s), 121 characters allowed <cite>Inohira posted [p:976750995] in House Spea...

Inohira 10/19/23 6:06:26 PM #198:	mystic_belmont posted... Why should they talk to someone that brings about the type of people willing to kill those that they disagree with? Because they can't find anyone with more Republican votes and they don't want Jeffries. It's just the political reality. Realistically if they just go with no Speaker forever and the government shuts down, that's what MAGA wanted anyway. They at least have the opportunity to wrangle concessions out of Jordan, like MAGA did to McCarthy, and could boot him with one motion if he failed to live up to them. But basically the traditional GOP is so afraid of losing power to any other wing of the party they'd prefer nothing happens at all.
