If your starting point is always a center right proposal in negotiations with a hard left leadership---your going to be lucky to leave those negotiations with anything better than a center left negotiated bill. The pathetically compromised starting point for every legislative negotiation established by the GOP's feeble and timid leadership is literally why we have a 2 trillion a year deficit right now.

The last time we had any real success in Congress just happens to also be the last time we had a true believer conservative as Speaker. Newt wasnt some just right of center "moderate"---Newt was considered to be little more than a hard charging Republican back bench bomb thrower before he was Speaker. But that true belief in conservative principals is what led him to create the Contract With America---which led to the Republican take over of the House---and a wildly successful period of actually passing conservative legislation.

when you really don’t have anything to lose (other than the country), it can only make ‘cents’ when padding zee pockets on both sides…

if term limits and pay for play (with major oversight) was even close to plausible, we’d see an entire different game in scope…

@pipeDreams

regardless, if ‘double hooks’ gets the votes, it’s his to either lead or status quo(X) … this is why I don’t see what too many quibble in relation to ‘pubs can’t govern’ or Gaetz hate … fk’n McCarthy was a shiTTTy leader!

A Republican house is not much different than a Democratic house.

A republican senate can actually change the courts and filibuster any extreme legislation… The Senate is much more important than the house assuming Biden wins again.

It should be, but unfortunately it isn't.

And when you look at all the stupid political moves that republicans have made to cost them senate seats over the past decade or so, you have to wonder if they really want to have any power. If you actually control the senate you don't even need the filibuster; you just vote stuff down.

Yep. The Senate GOP went hard from 2010-2014…that’s about it. Then they broke nearly every promise that got them elected.

What "status quo dream"? I despise the f-ing status quo. I'd be happy to go back to square one and do it differently.

This country is headed in the wrong direction. Donks are pushing it that way, and the damn 'phants are just along for the ride.

I'm not really convinced that 2020 or 2022 were "stolen," and if they were a lot of it was because the R's were asleep at the switch when D's were basically neutering our already weak election fraud controls. I'm sorry, but you can't *itch about a problem that you helped cause and you aren't doing anything to address.

I think a big problem is that there are a hell of a lot of republicans who would rather see the idiot crook Biden as president than Trump as head of the republican party.

Sky screaming on deck.

the 'status quo dream' is not addressing the root issue ... you know dadgum good and well the number of ballots counted ('20 and '22) are outside the boundary of historical balance using any relevant/rational statistical analysis...

you keep pining for solutions (most of which are solvent in scope), yet completely ignore what it takes for 'those' to have a chance at gaining any traction...

today's game from a decade ago is nowhere close to 'same game'...

that's MY point! it's one I'll hammer home to the finale in '24 ... after that, I'll see no reason to post here again ... it's run it's course

Just posting facts, however inconvenient they may be.

I don’t think he’s being elected to pass bills. It’s more for committee assignments, subpoenas, investigations, etc.

What’s the point of passing a bill only to get destroyed in the Senate?

My bad. However you refer to this incident almost every time Jordan's name comes up so it's kind of hard to tell when it's parody.

Where did Turley say this? Its not on his twitter account. His twitter account is currently showing that newly discovered evidence points to Biden* lying about his classified documents issue. Thats all he appears to be talking about yesterday.

You have ten minutes to find the quote or disavow. Or you are getting smacked.
