Jim Jordan is the choice for Speaker?

[Sardines]

Yep, and I want to reiterate that every single democrat voted with the craziest of the GOP in the house to get rid of mccarthy so they are just as much to blame for this circus.

There is a relevant saying here: Never interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake.

I think our system should be better than that, but it isn't.

It depends. If Jim Jordan or someone like him gets the nomination then that will be a win for their enemy and a loss for themselves.
Mccarthy had just barely worked with the democrats. They might wish they could go back to him and regret ousting him in the future.

Also, imo the democrats biggest enemy is the extreme right wing trumpers. If those people want something to happen then the democrats shouldn't want that thing to happen and shouldn't help them make it happen. Instead they teamed up with the most extreme right wing house members to help the most extreme right wing achieve their goal. Bad idea imo.

It’s not democrats job to bail out republicans and allow an insurrection-supporting, molester-enabling, failure run the House.

Geatz voted with democrats to oust the Speaker for voting with democrats, with no plan moving forward. ****ing embarrassing.

The democrats are giving them rope and defeating MAGA at the same time. Genius really.

That insurrection-supporting, molester-enabling, failure only has a chance at running the House because of the democrats doe. The speaker (mccarthy) voted with democrats. MAGA didn't like that and wanted him gone. So the democrats teamed up with MAGA to get rid of the dude who was willing to vote with democrats. If MAGA doesn't like something then imo the democrats shouldn't help them eliminate that thing that MAGA doesn't like. All while making the government unable to function when we need it to function. Not genius really.

Democrats have stated that Republicans need to select their own leader without Democrat interference. And they have held to that position. It makes sense, as Republicans would be sure to blame the Democrats for their own failures going forward if the Democrats had any say in Republican leadership.

Republicans need to figure out how to govern. It is not the Democrats' fault that Republicans cannot handle their responsibilities.

Hopefully this will force the Republicans into a more moderate position.

Good thing there is nothing important going on that these politicians should be working on… maybe just do bubble gum bubble gum in a dish and live with the result.

I think house democrats were stupid to help the trumpers in the house get rid of Mcarthy. He had just helped democrats pass a bipartisan bill to keep the government funded. So he worked with the democrats. That pissed off the trumpers in the house. Then the democrats help the trumpers get rid of him? All so that the house can put a true hard core trumper in charge instead? Pretty stupid of the democrats imo. I figure the motivation to help the trumpers oust mccarthy was simply to cause chaos. Which is a horrible reason and doesn't help any of us at all.

Not really. It is up to the majority party to have the votes to elect the speaker. For the republicans to rely on Dems to keep their speaker would be beyond lame. There would not have been a vote without the gaetz performative Twitter show.

Its gonna suck when the next speaker is even worse for democrats than mccarthy was and i have to be right.

Depends on what you mean by worse. A more moderate speaker who negotiates and compromises is better for the entire country, democrats included.

Agreed. Its will be a less moderate speaker who negotiates and compromises less and is worse for the country though unfortunately.
