Temporary respite I think. -- nm - ty97 Mar 24, 10:57 4
- If Trump is able to force this vote, I think he might want to force more, just for the feeling of power. And to give Ryan a hard time. -- nm - mara Mar 24, 11:18 3
  - But Trump is temporary. Once back to normal grown-ups in the White House, Hastert Rule will be back -- nm - ty97 Mar 24, 11:21
  - It puts the vote to the House, or else it gets the hose again. -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 Mar 24, 11:21
  - Right. And I think this was a reminder to the GOP that Trump has no party loyalty. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 24, 11:20
I think it's the end of the Ryan Rule. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 24, 10:57 16
- This is the sort of shit they would trigger an election in a Parliamentary system. -- nm - Reagen Mar 24, 10:58 9
  - And we have had sub-year intervals between elections. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 24, 11:08 6
    - (Well, at least in BC. Maybe I'm remembering wrong, though.) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 24, 11:09 5
      - No, you're right - federal elections in July 1979 and February 1980. -- nm* - Roger More Mar 24, 11:31 4
        
        Looking it up, the shortest time between elections in Australia is ~18 months (though we've had a Prime Minister that lasted 9 days) -- nm - Roger More Mar 24, 11:36 3
        
        And one you lost at sea! - Reagen Mar 24, 11:38 2
        
        They named an aquatic centre after him, so that was nice. -- nm - Roger More Mar 24, 11:47 1

  - It may just -- nm - ty97 Mar 24, 11:02 1
    - (not a Presidential election of course, but a Speaker election) -- nm - ty97 Mar 24, 11:02
- Yeah, if this vote happens, then Trump has shown he owns Ryan. -- nm - ty97 Mar 24, 10:58 5
  - Didn't Ryan declare this was a temp job when he took it? -- nm - Max Mar 24, 10:58 4
    - It's a fine way to cover your butt. "Oh no, I'm only here temporarily." -- nm - Mop Mar 24, 11:51
    - Yeah, but I think he imagined writing his own exit. - Will Hunting Mar 24, 11:00 1
      - This. -- nm - Remlik Mar 24, 11:18
    - He also declared he's never support Trump again -- nm - ty97 Mar 24, 11:00
