Yup. I don't get why people think the Dems should do anything but sit back and watch the GOP look like fools. -- (edited) - Krusty Jan 5, 13:40 16
- I do think that they should cut a deal because having McCarthy increasingly offer the House to the nutjobs is bad for everyone. But if they're not - spamlet Jan 5, 13:43 11
  - the nutjobs are demanding total destruction of government functions, no income tax, defund fbi, stop social security...what compromise can be made? -- nm - aud lang zeit Jan 5, 13:49
  - The only deal they should cut is to have some on the right to vote present so Jeffries can take the seat. ;-) - Krusty Jan 5, 13:46 9
    - There's no chance that happens. But I do think they're waiting for some republicans to start talking to them, I kind of feel it's like Dan Aykroyd in - pmb Jan 5, 14:08
    - The handwringing over Jeffries potentially getting it is funny since it's not like he could pass whatever he wants without the majority anyway. -- nm - Reagen Jan 5, 13:49 7
      - True and it won't happen because there's a lot that you gain from being speaker like committee assignments and setting the agenda. - Krusty Jan 5, 14:01
      - I just don't think the Democrats could get enough Rs to vote for him, that's simply not going to happen. - spamlet Jan 5, 13:57 5
        
        I imagine the GOP will refuse a Dem speaker at all cost because they'd lose legislative agenda and Rules committee. - Max Jan 5, 14:04 3
        
        1000% this. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 14:12
        
        Yup, so let them flail. The one and only Dem deal should be "vote for Jeffries or get bent". Every bad thing that follows this debacle - TWuG Jan 5, 14:07 1
        
        but it will be. How will they pass anything? -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 14:15
        
        9 more "presents" isn't totally out of the realm. -- nm - Reagen Jan 5, 14:03
- What is that quote? Something like, when the enemy is self destructing, let them. - loosilu Jan 5, 13:41 3
  - "Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake." is a Napoleon quote. - Beryllium Jan 5, 14:27 1
    - That was also Clinton’s theory in 2016. -- nm - spamlet Jan 5, 15:09
  - Heh. :-) -- nm - Krusty Jan 5, 13:44
Honestly, there's no need to interrupt the entertainment. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 13:40
