Do you think they will return to their seats?

"A special election will be held to fill the empty House seats, though the expelled representatives can also run and return to office".

1. I hope they do. nt

[roamer65]

2. Yes.

The constituents will enjoy the big “fuck you” of sending them back.

I would.

3. On Chris Hayes

A young Tennessee senator said they can be renominated for their seats by local officials.

5. Reappointed, actually

6. I sure hope so.

The constituents of these two young men are fired up..Look for Maxwell Frost and other National Democrats to get involved and rally voters if they run again.

7. I'm guessing that if they want to, they'd win easily.

[BigmanPigman]

9. I don't know if I'd want to go back into that snake pit.

I hope they do but I can understand why they wouldn't want to.

13. This incident has launched them as national figures. In the end, I bet they will have much

bigger voices and much more power now.

[BigmanPigman]

16. Yes, it will! TN opened a whole can of worms with this stupid action.

[Scrivener7]

17. It's already backfiring spectacularly. I watched Jones for a while earlier and thought,

"We're all going to be voting for that guy in a few years."

They're going to regret this. Those kids protesting in the state house are not going to forget this EVER.

8. The intention of the boards responsible for the interim appointments in their respective

districts is to send them back to their House seats as early as next week.

10. What is up with Forbes? Suddenly it has all the articles I want to read. Which shocks me.

[BigmanPigman]

11. I only used them as the source since they were the first publication

to report on the third/final vote.

[Scrivener7]

12. But they have been kind of fabulous lately. I don't understand it!

[BigmanPigman]

14. Maybe they are doing the opposite of what CNN is now doing.

CNN is leaning more to the right to get more middle of the road viewers so perhaps that will make right leaning news publications start to lean a little left?

[Scrivener7]

15. It seems like they are. Or I am just catching a weird cross section of their reports.

I'm going to bookmark them and pay attention now.

[Nictuku]

18. What is forbes.com? My impression is very right-wing

Not an attack or critique! Just wondering if anyone else feels that way.

[BigmanPigman]

19. Reply #7 nad tne same reaction.

I posted that since it was the first publication that reported the 3rd vote in TN. It was timing. That was the only reason.

20. Yes and in the long run this fascist stunt will hurt the GOP.
