So… now what?
Now the house will be motionless other than maybe subcommittee meetings and such. Until the GOP nominates a new speaker. It only took 15 attempts last time…
The mostly likely replacement at this point is probably the Democrat Jeffries, assuming the dems are still united on that front. I don’t know who of the gop would be able to swing the whole party at this point.
Highly unlikely.
Anyone with an R next to their name would be commiting political suicide to cross the isle like that.
We might see one of the more centrist Rs try to broker a power sharing deal if things get too bleak though since it’s apparent the freedom caucus does not know what compromise or negotiation means.
As a libertarian, the last 7 years have been one big, depressing bowl of popcorn. I didn’t agree with Obama on much, but he was at least a decent executive, but all these geriatrics in office just make me so frustrated.
My vote doesn’t matter anyway because all of the positions I vote for end up going to the same party with at least 20% vote difference. So I mostly vote for the minority party if I think it’ll be close, otherwise I vote for my state’s mediocre libertarian candidates.
I wholeheartedly concur regarding the gerontocracy. I would support an age maximum of 65 for those running for office. If you are elected at 65 you can serve your term of office but after that you’re done.
