Go away, Marge.

They are like children throwing a tantrum when they don't get what they want.

That's funny as hell, you're right, she does have a horse face!
Unfortunately she's also as stubborn as a mule.

This has less support than last time. Of course the Democrats will happily vote for it because getting a new speaker would be embarrassingly chaotic for the GOP.

There's at least a few House Democrats on record saying they would vote against ousting him.

If MTG wasn't such a nutjob, I would say she at least has a valid criticism (that Johnson brought the bill to a floor vote without majority support of his own party and without 72 hours to read the legislation), but Republicans can't afford politically to go through this again.

Let's het MTG as a speaker please...

That would be entertaining

Hey, why not?

Johnson strikes me as being a right-leaning fruitcake. Byron Donalds would have been a much better choice than Johnson.

Are you suggesting he's as much of a trump ballwasher as you are?

A black Republican speaker… not on your life.

Exactly. To people of your ilk, he would just be another "Uncle Tom"

I don’t buy that they would even come close to picking a black man. This is the same reason Tim Scott likely is a no go for veep.

Are you suggesting that all other factors equal, Republicans would pick the white person over the black person solely over skin color and gender?

Aside from you having no evidence of this being the case, at least Republicans don't go around publicly stating that people of a certain skin color and gender are not in consideration for certain high positions of power as Joe Biden did by eliminating 94% of the population from consideration of a SCOTUS opening solely on that basis.

I’m suggesting the base would go ballistic if they did that and so it stops them in their tracks. These are the same people who went ballistic when we elected Obama by a landslide. They want nothing to do with it.

In the vast majority of cases, Republicans not being a fan of Obama had nothing to do with his skin color and everything to do with his politics.

Your blatant accusations of racism are (again with the caveat that I'm talking about a vast majority and not every single person) without merit.
