I don't disagree. But taking the high road is why "Republicans" can't get shite done in DC.

Unlike Democrats, Republicans refuse to stick together. Even if not all Dems agree on every issue, they always vote like they do. Every time.
If AOC were up for speaker, 100% of Dems would vote for her, even if many didn't like her. Republicans just refuse to operate the way Dems do, which is why Dems constantly destroy them and get what they want.
And yet, 2/3rds of this board cheers on the GOP when they act like this, as if this is how they are SUPPOSED to act.
It's insane.

Neither is applying purity tests.
Just like most stuff, this stunt will backfire.

I mean, it's not like absent "this stunt" we would have just been humming along swimmingly.

I think voting for a leader and voting on bills is a big difference

Sickening to see how greedy these pukes are.

Sometimes the devil you know is better than the ones you dont.
Political stunts have high risks that the politicians who support them rarely pay.

And sometimes the status quo needs to be shaken up, if not completely upended.
I'm willing to take my chances at this point.

Who would’ve thought that Jordan is less popular than McCarthy?
There weren’t even 20 votes to oust McCarthy

The reality is that Jordan is a lightweight opportunist. He’s not bright.

They are all opportunists.
I challenge you to name one that's not.
