Just show up and vote 100% for Jefferies every round and let them fight. This isnt hard. McCarthy isnt going to just hand over power to the right wingers.

It would be a sign of weak leadership on the part of Jeffries if he canât get his caucus to show up for a vote where they donât even have to do any work.
Changes: all 19 defectors voted for Jordan instead of Biggs or someone else. No other movement.
What concessions would be enough for you to accept Dems voting for McCarthy to end this?
Good to see AOC is still a bomb-thrower.
Can McCarthy give a rousing speech? Who wouldnât be moved by this talented orator
Not sure. Might just let them fight it out, but also value in just electing McCarthy with Dem help for fucking with the caucus after he hangs for awhile. Clean debt ceiling increase for starters plus some other goodies probably my ask. Right now it is easy, just show up vote Jeffries.
LOL 9 of 10 oldest members are of course lol Dems, how long can 82+ year olds hang out for endless votes?
Jordan will move enough votes for McCarthy now, I think. He could just decline to be nominated?
The longer this lasts the better the bargaining position to extract demands. Of course there is a risk that some older Democrats get tired and leave or fall asleep or something.
The Ds lose their bargaining leverage if the Freedom Caucus caves.
They shit on McCarthy like they said theyâd do so they call it a day now imo. Hoping to be wrong.
Assuming they get to keep McCarthyâs five votes thing for the motion to vacate, theyâll be trying to fire him constantly and itâll be hilarious and theyâll all be at each othersâ throats 100% of the time.
A FC ringleader (Goode?) said he expects no change on the 3rd round, Jordan holding the R rebels.
Disagree, have 1 no name defect to McCarthy that no one knows, then 3, all toward the end when they are already short of 218 by a fewâŚthen back to 0.
Moar shots of Kev fidgeting in his seat, pretending to laugh and have a good time while he squirms in torturous embarrassment as his lifelong dream is batted about by MAGA chud reps like cats playing with a half-dead mouse. MOAR. He knows if he loses this his exposure (his sustenance) plummets and heâs not as tall as Thune to loom high in the back of the presser shot like a subservient backup center. Kink his publicity hose and watch him die on the vine.
EDIT: Not even an affair to point to as his reason for failure this time!

Oh no, I had pretty much forgotten about horseshithead Ryan Zinke until seeing him just now on the House floor as a newly elected rep
The Democratic Party needs more go-getters
