Would you make this deal?

[kentuck]

If the Republicans would replace Mitch McConnell and John Boehner as their leaders, would you agree to replace Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi as the Democratic leaders? All done in the spirit of bi-partisanship? If not, why not?

1. as long as I get to pick the replacements

[tazkcmo]

2. YES

Then we can replace Reid with Warren or Franken and Pelosi with Grayson. THAT would make Puker's heads explode!

4. We've got a winner. n/t

[MohRokTah]

3. No

That's not how it works.

Might want to check these outs:

Rules of the House

Rules of the Senate

9. IF. We all know the rules but hypothetical questions can be fun.

[MohRokTah]

11. Ah, hypothetically then, I'd follow the rules. eom

13. On what pages are the rules for backroom deals explained?

[MohRokTah]

14. "Deals" are called politics. eom

5. Not if they're replacing Mitch and Boner with Sarah Palin and Paul Ryan.

Though it's hard to say, if we could get a Warren Sanders combo in there it might be worth it!!!

Good question, kentuck!

[Cleita]

6. Depends who they pick.

What if it's Ted Cruz and Kevin McCarthy? Maybe better the devils we do know.

[Prophet 451]

7. Not taking that bet

These days, all the congressional Republicans are completely batshit.

[kentuck]

8. How could they be less conciliatory than Boehner and McConnell?

And if they were, how could they get their Party and their supporters to go along with them?

[Prophet 451]

10. My point exactly n/t

[kentuck]

12. I would say these are the four worst leaders for our time.

They should all be replaced. They are not leaders.
