on how he does with Hakeem Jeffries and the Democrats who declared the four qualifying criteria for Speaker that Jeffries outlined.

1. They voted to certify the 2020 election;
2. have a track record of standing up to extremism” and defending democracy, as well as
3. a “track record of governing”; and
4. agreed to support the original debt limit deal struck between the White House and McCarthy.

Sure, no Democrats voted for him. But Democrats also want to do their job and govern, not play spite and attack games.

If Jeffries claims Johnson is working with him and they produce a budget and bipartisan bills, then Johnson might get to stay no matter how loudly the coup caucus wails.

Just stop it! Go watch the videos from our era of the US depression and see how well your "idea" will go.

1. Individual Freedom - like banning abortion.

2. Limited Government - like no IRS, EPA, consumer protection.

3. The Rule of Law - like getting Trump back in office.

4. Peace through Strength - like pro military industrial complex.

5. Fiscal Responsibility - like permanent tax reductions.

6. Free Markets - like no minimum wage, no worker rights.

7. Human Dignity- what he says and what he means is word salad nonsense.

I am disgusted what this guy is really about.
