Cannot get a majority agreement in a damaged split party. Something needs to change.

I know yall dont want to hear this, but MAGA has a hard ceiling. The message has limited and exclusionary appeal.

The only way to grow it is by worsening economic conditions or social breakdown.

The immigration issue is an opportunity for MAGA to raise the ceiling, but its too focused on destroying the party from within than expanding the movement.

Until you can cooperate with other Republicans, this is the best it will ever get.

He appears to be from the category that is fine on compromising life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness if it makes the uniparty happy.

Well first, since you’re proposing this question, I’d like to see your breakdown of every Speaker of the House in U.S. History. We can analyze each one of them here.

Denny Hassert was a groomer. He was convicted after his time in Congress, though.

He should force a shut down of the government during a presidential election to help Joe Biden win. That'll show 'em.

Please explain how this helps Joe Biden win an election 8 months from now?

I would argue passing this bill helps Biden more.

In any other election I would agree. I think it's the other way around this time. Everyone is fed up with government.

Immigration and the economy are the key issues this cycle.

That is exactly what the GOPe is currently working towards by constantly running interference on behalf of the Dems and throwing other Reps and their own constituents under the bus.

Voters gave the Republicans both houses and the presidency in 2016. Was it MAGA that refused to cooperate with the voters' wishes or the GOP?

MAGA wouldn't even exist if the party you support hadn't been complicit in worsening the socioeconomic conditions in this country. So naturally, a movement that spawned out of worsening conditions will grow as conditions worsen. Your ability to state the obvious is amazing.

Remind me again. Which group is it that keeps attacking Trump for trying to expand the movement to include independents? Which group constantly attacks people on the right because they were once liberals? Which group turned on people like Tucker Carlson for not hating Trump enough?

Make deals, thats how this works.

Starts at the gop. We have an absence of leadership.
