If so, we could just start voting Emmer. Doubt it will come to that- he has 100 or so strong supporters. Alhena Oct 2023 #9
FYI, Democrats will never vote for a Republican Speaker of the house. Never never never ZonkerHarris Oct 2023 #13
I think they would, but it won't come cheap maxrandb Oct 2023 #18

"Voting for a Globalist RINO like Tom Emmer would be a tragic mistake!”
is how DjT describes Emmer.

'Globalist' is a term usually used as an anti-semitic swipe...
and 'Emmer' sounds like a Jewish name. Just wondering.

Globalist is what they call anyone now who believes in non "America-first" stuff. True it used to have a anti-Jewish ness tinge, but I've been called a Globalist by folks in my own family. If you believe in the UN and/or NATO these days, you're a globalist.

Little Gymmy Jordan would be the current Speaker of the House.

The Dems could all pass on first roll call, I guess. Would Republicans stop the voting if they thought Emmer was going to become speaker on their votes alone?

There would need to be a shit ton of rule changes and shakeups of committee chairs and composition to get ANY Dem votes or abstentions.

Ask Jordan about the Power of a Trump Endorsement (apparently, capitalizing a few letters makes it a real thing)!
(very appropriate for a Trump Endorsement)

Emmer may not be perfect, but at least maybe something can get done for the country.
