In the next few days, demonrats have a choice...vote as a block for Jeffries and let the selection of a new Speaker drag on, or try to extract some flesh from the next Speaker in the form of concessions to them. If it gets out they are trying the later, that republican will play hell getting votes from republicans. The republican caucus needs to lock themselves in a room and hammer out among themselves who they want...then elect him/her on the first ballot and then vote as a block behind the new Speaker on everything that gets to the floor between now and the election.
Sadly, there are enough idiots in the republican caucus that will never happen.
The machine politicians are vewy vewy angwy at Eddie Munster.
There is nothing repukes can do that won't get bad press - they need to ignore the MSM.Warcok » 03 Oct 2023, 4:21 pm » wrote: ↑ I'm conflicted. Part of me supports it. The other part of me think it's an embarrassment and going to effect Republicans in the 2024 election
Yeah. This is what happens when you ignore your base. Republicans wanted to shut the government down. And, I'm all for it. If the Republicans can stall out electing another speaker of the house for even 30 days, there's a good chance of a government shutdown happening in time for Christmas.

You keep saying that, but a Monmouth University poll showed that 64% of Americans wanted a compromise (and 50% of republicans)Skans » 03 Oct 2023, 5:15 pm » wrote: ↑ Yeah.

The fact that your poll is the result of machine politicians working together proves it is a **** push-poll. It was literally DESIGNED to get the results it got - a complete misuse of statistics and a fraud.ConsRule » 03 Oct 2023, 5:45 pm » wrote: ↑ You keep saying that, but a Monmouth University poll showed that 64% of Americans wanted a compromise (and 50% of republicans)

Then there's this;
This new national survey, jointly conducted by Democratic firm Global Strategy Group and Republican firm North Star Opinion Research, finds:https://www.pgpf.org/press-release/2023 ... ss-release
- 90% of voters, including 91% of Democrats and 89% of Republicans, agree that lawmakers from both parties should work together to avoid a government shutdown and focus their efforts on finding solutions for our national debt.
- Strong majorities of voters believe a shutdown should be avoided because it harms the economy (77%) and because it distracts from America’s larger fiscal challenges (70%).
- Seven-in-ten voters are concerned that there will be a federal government shutdown because lawmakers will be unable to come to a budget agreement by the September 30 deadline.
