Why wouldn't they if shutting down the government is as bad as you all say it is for the GOP?

How would the Speaker make them do this? Remember, the majority of members of the House support the bill and the Ukraine funding, etc. you act like the speaker has some sort of magic wand.

If the GOP conference was rock solid and unified in that course of action, you’d be right. But it isn’t, so you aren’t.


Single issue bills like he promised. Ukraine funding was already rejected by the whole republican base.

The reps want it for their own laundering opportunities and hid it in this bill.

Why is this so hard to understand?

There is no failure to understand your point. What you want very clearly isn’t an option given the lack of spine in a segment of the GOP house contingent.

Unless we’re all just going to go with the assumption that Mike Johnson is just choosing not to do this for no apparent reason.
