Quoted: Trump endorsed McCarthy, MAGA is fully backing the Swamp. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: I believe the democrats cant do that and maintain the illusion of the GOP establishment being a viable counter party. If the Dems cross over it will clearly highlight the establishment protecting itself and can be used to people waking up to how both sides work together to fuck us. Today was a disaster for the GOP establishment, and the overall establishment in general. They dont have many good moves left without either making major concessions to MAGA, or pulling the mask off and identifying themselves as enemy from within. Trump won in 2016 on essentially the Tea Party platform, rebranded as MAGA. MAGA is not "fully backing the swamp", because MAGA does not belong to Trump. MAGA is a populist movement of The People. Trump is throwing one of his patented "wtf is he thinking" curveballs. Just like "take the guns first" and the bumpstock thing. There are a number of reasons Trump might endorse McCarthy, others have done a good job pointing out some of them. Just my opinion. |

Letting them know they have the backing of their voters costs us nothing and might move the needle a tiny bit towards limiting McCarthy’s power. I don’t hold out hope they’ll be able to elect someone else, but letting him in without concessions would be a huge loss. |

If the Republicans can't come together on him when he is the only one who wants the job who could possibly win explains why nothing can get done. The democrats don't have a problem voting as a block but we haven't learned to look at the big picture. You need to present a united front when dealing with the opposition. Any differences within the party should be resolved in private. If we can't learn this lesson now, we are doomed to failure of our own making. I'll take any number of members of the house that have been demanding accountability. I dont care how this makes the Republican party as a whole look. This is the civil war within the GOP coming to a head. Pro freedom needs to win or we continue down the road the GOP establishment has lead us for decades. If the GOP establishment wants to cross the isle and vote in a democrat as speaker I'm good with it. It marks them clearly as enemy and makes it easier for us to remove them. Without rooting these people out of the GOP nothing will ever change, they will block it or leave things easily reversed by the next political swing. They don't have to cross the aisle. Nothing can be done until a speaker is elected. How many independent voters will vote Republican when we cannot elect a Speaker. We will be one a party country with the same party controlling both Chicago and the US government. Guess which party that would be? My choice? I'd like Jordan. That won't happen, so I'd take Scalise. If there is to be a compromise candidate, Scalise will be it. |

Most Republicans on Capitol Hill are Democrats.

This is great. Conservatives held their ground, and everyone has been able to identify the conservatives that sold out. The people saying that both parties are the same will be further vindicated if there's some kind of coalition agreement between Democrats and Republicans. Without a speaker, Republicans won't be able to hold useless hearings about Hunter Biden's laptop and distract from the border crisis and everything else. Republican leadership is going to have to compromise with the base or be humiliated.
The slim Republican majority is completely ungovernable (worse than what Boehner had in 2013), so I hope that the votes keep failing and this goes on for at least several weeks. Who knows though, maybe it will end tomorrow. |

Quoted: Actually Romney is a Republican. It's what we thought Republicans were that needs to change. View Quote Republicans have been ideologically across the board since the Antebellum years. They've spanned from well to the Left to the far Right. That has not changed. The GOP has always been heterogenous. The Democrats over the years have swung back and forth between ideological diversity and homogeneity as well as from the Right to the Left in terms of where their center lies. Right now they are trending closer to homogeneity. Republicans like Romney have been influential in the GOP for the entire post-war era. The conservative movement managed to push things back to the Right, along with the conversion of Southern Democrats on the Right to Republicans, but the center of the party has only been more than just barely Right-of-Center for fleeting moments. Even Trump's movement is an amalgamation of groups from the Left and Right (as well as groups that themselves draw their ideology from both sides of the spectrum, like the national populists, who have a lot in common with the Left). The neoconservative movement's victory at the end of the 1990s is what has given us the present establishment and kept our party close to the Center. We are still dealing with the legacy of their victory, which culminated in the election of Bush. One of the movement's founders, Kristol, even said that the goal of the movement was to convert conservatism and the GOP against their collective wills into something more suitable for progressive governance (which is why some of their major figureheads, like Max Boot, so easily switched to the Democrats in the wake of Trump winning the nomination in 2016). |

View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: This is a perfect microcosm of why the Republicans hate Trump. Those handful of Reps who voted for Jordan know that McCarthy is a swamp creature and refuse to go along with a party that sells us out to the Leftist agenda at every turn for 30 shekels every time. Trump was exactly the same thing to them. Going back to the Obama years.........so was the Tea Party. Every time the national government takes a collective corrupt turn to the Left, an empowered and principled right wing sect comes to power among the grass roots Republicans in response. Every time that small contingent of principled right wingers raise their heads and their hands, the Judases of the GOP work with the Democrats to crush them. And every time, the establishment has to get more and more openly blatant in their cheating to win subsequent elections. Something has to give because while you can crush the electorate, you can't crush their desire for freedom, fairness, and self determination. It's going to boil down to all those Fed LE folks who swore an allegiance to the Constitution. Do they finally start cracking down on the cheating corrupt politicians, or the right wing grassroots citizenry and the Reps they occasionally manage to get put into office? Trump has a known history of throwing wild curveballs. This is one of them. It is very possible that Trump's internal polling may have flipped him, and now he wants to play nice with the RINO majority. My overall point still stands. |

Quoted: Over the years I've gotten the impression that he'd rather be seen as endorsing someone that appears likely to win rather than a better person that is likely to lose. It's one of the flaws of the human ego. ETA I'd bet the house that his endorsement has nothing to do with any love for McCarthy, it's more about him being seen as picking a winner. That and McCarthy probably blew a bunch of smoke up Trump's ass about what he would or wouldn't do as speaker. View Quote Very much agree. Trumps biggest flaw. He will not support an underdog. |
