When the House is voting on the new Speaker

[Darwins_Retriever]

The Democrats need to do one of the following when the house votes to choose a new speaker:

1. Vote for Kevin to ensure he stays as speaker. He is an idiot and an ineffective manager. Kevin will also harbor a feeling that he owes something to the Democrats. Or

2. Vote for MTG. Turn the house into a circus, so nothing gets done. Remember the laughs she got when she called for decorum. There is more fun to have. Just think of the entertainment, all of the video clips.

1. I say #1

[Ohio Joe]

2. Sorry, I disagree

Make them fight it out... Make them once again show how dysfunctional and unable to govern they really are.

[Jerry2144]

3. I choose option 3

The minority leader. Need full Democratic unity and constant vote for him. With one resignation of a Repugnant member, there is only a four seat margin. Have the Repugnant Party try to get unity. If they fail or if four of them miss a vote, we get someone smart

5. This. "Never interfere with an enemy while he's in the process of destroying himself"

4. I'm not seeing any indication that McCarthy's job is truly in peril

At least at this point.

6. oh god, not #2

the House is already a circus. MTG as Speaker would set the clock back years.

[relayerbob]

9. Never, ever, #2

What if she accidentally won? I think the Democrats should do what they did yesterday, let the GQP show their cards, and then vote, and make it clear Hakeem is their choice before the vote.

10. Hakeem, I want it back!

Too late. Now go get your shine box

11. Number 2 is a no go

The speaker sets the legislative agenda and determines what bills and actions are brought to the house floor for a vote. It will be impeachment central for a year as well as defund the various federal agencies that she and her flying monkeys don't like. Don't under estimate MTG because she might not be the sharpest tool in the box but she knows how to weild power. She has McCarthys balls in a jar on her desk.
