Can Democrats find 6 Republicans to flip?

[TC Talks]

McCarthy is done, no Trumper will get the votes, if I were the Democratic whip, I'd be back channeling some moderate house members in the Republican party to find a way to flip their vote.

Matt, which why would you go? A Trump house or a moderate democratic house.

Can they pull it off? Let's hope so.

Not going to happen after the Kat Cammack speech. She just burned the last bridge with any D who had plans to work with Rs to end this shitshow. They will let these folks hang out to dry as long as they want...

I didn't see it, but she isn't anyone to worry about.

I'd be in favor of Fred Upton or Justin Amash. Hell, I think even Peter Meijer would be a great choice.

If the republicans want to stick it to the dems, they'd go with Donald Trump.

They don't have the votes, and that would be terrible for the country.

They don't have the votes for anybody.

And I was joking in case you couldn't tell. But you have to admit, that would make for an entertaining 2 years.

Fred Upton? Pass. Time to bring down the curtain on the D.C. swamp creatures.

Peter Meijer or Justin Amash? Hey, why not? Even someone like me would settle for that. Get rid of tired old stooges like Fred Upton, Mitch McConnell and friends, and Matt may turn out to be one of the good guys after all.

It looks like some of the Democrats are back channeling with Republicans. We might have a Democrat speaker in a Republican majority house by the end of this week. All it will take is six votes. Oh this is just awesome.

You're not going to get a Democrat speaker. I can say that with near 100% confidence. One of the two Republicans factions will cave the moment speculation exists that Dems have the votes to make such a thing happen.

How are you feeling about your predictions today?

Some Republicans have suggested they need to resolve this or lose it to the Democrats. That sounds like the beginnings of a great idea.

[bmw]

I'm standing my by prediction.

...They will let these folks hang out to dry as long as they want...

Agree. I don't believe either side will budge, even if there isn't a speaker by Valentine's Day.

Wonder if those not sworn in are getting paid?
You probably know already, they let James nominate McCarthy today.

Or by the 200th vote one faction will vote present in disgust.

I don't think these idiots understand what the consequences of their actions will be for what they want to accomplish. They just do not want to compromise. They need to grow up and understand that there are people who believe they are wrong, not just on the other side, but on their side, too. If they decide to just ride this out and let the dems somehow wiggle enough votes, no one on their side will ever work with them. Ever.
