re: Which Republican Congressmen won their seat promising voters MOAR continuing resolutions?

No one can do that. They can just point to your post where you said that Mccarthy had 95% of his caucus and at least that of the caucuses constituents. The conclusion logically follows from that statement. Don't blame others for your lack of precision.

Funny innit? He wants the board posters to let him in on the house plan twenty moves down the line, yet when they put one and one together and deduce a simple implication, he denies he ever mean that. The synapses aren’t all connected.

Maybe not in that extremely specific verbiage, but you and I had the following exchange:

Constituents want moderates and stability.

The DEMs would gladly pass a budget that the GOP would never accept.

So the choice, for now, is CRs or shut down. The population supports CRs over shut downs, if that's what you're asking.

I'm sure they'd support a budget, too, but none of us posting on here want the DEMs to pass their budget.

Tldr version of this. Republicans can't win so they have to lose without a fight. No one should believe any part of that logical chain. It's foolishness.

I never thought Gaetz would sell out to the DEMs

So now your argument has to be either Gaetz filed this motion with no intention to vote in favor of it and only changed his mind once he saw how the other side was voting, or he gave something so substantial to the other side it secured their entire voting block.

Which is it?

If it’s the first, then you’re even more stupid than we all already know you are.

If it’s the second, please name what this substantial thing someone as politically limited, according to you, can promise to secure 200+ votes.

You don’t know that. And the OP’s point was that every single republican campaigns on changing Washington. Yet one of two words in CR stands for continuous

You're jumping into the problem at the brink as did Mccarthy. He had 9 months to take another path, but those cocktail parties were too much to pass up.

Not this chest-beating emotional stuff from yesterday. Hence muh fight.

You think because you throw "emotional" at every argument you can't rebuke is effective? (It isn't)

that's called "selling out to the Democrats" on here

I'm asking for alternative examples.

Have been for about an hour. No serious alternative options have been presented, I don't believe (in 3 different threads)

I reject playing your game. I don't answer questions with premises that are fundamentally flawed. I instead focus on demonstrating that your line of thinking is flawed at every level of analysis.
