As of 9/15/2023 there were 221 Republican members. One was tossed from office. Three have stood for a vote in the House in this process. One is supposed to be voted on today. I doubt he'll get the number on the first go round, if at all. That leaves...216 others. There could be one more late next month if the seat a Republican resigned from stays in the "R" column. More and more chatter about going back to McCarthy. Who knows? Every day they don't elect a speaker favors the Democrats. |

I guess it makes sense to pick some random who no one ever heard of before so no one has any reason to object to him. Looking at his record, he seems vile. So it makes sense the GOP rallied around him. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18764 | I just heard him promise "honesty and integrity" so he can't be planning to be MAGA. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |
