Tom Emmer drops out of contention for House speaker, hours after winning GOP nomination
btaf45[Emmer withdrew his name from the running after a contingent of Republicans made clear they would not back him on the House floor]
They are already ignoring the pledge they signed to back the nominee. This makes it considerably more likely that Dems will be needed.
And there’s no way they’ll help.
HeartyBeastReally? If the government shuts down and (say) Kevin McCarthy begs them?
Then hopefully they’ll say ‘vote for Jeffreys and we’ll get the government going, otherwise you own this’.
ImFresh3xWhen the GOP decides to walk away from the freedom caucus, insurrectionists, and 100x felon Trump, they can ask for help. Until then, the GOP is on its own.
