begooode Posted October 11, 2023 Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 The GOP infighting seen in the House is a feature not a bug across the US in today's Fight Everything gop. The effect is internal strife for strife's sake and shitty government for the constituents COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — After Ohio Republicans bolstered their statehouse majority last year due to their dominating showing in the midterm elections, they split into rival camps over who should lead the lower chamber. The division between younger, more impatient conservatives and more traditional ones was only settled when Democrats crossed party lines to end a standoff over who would become speaker of the Ohio House. Since then, despite their power over all levels of state government, Ohio Republicans have been convulsed by infighting as party leaders censured everyone who had voted for their new speaker, Republican Jason Stephens. Amid the divisions, the Legislature managed to pass only 10 bills this year. “Childish would be my word,” said Republican state Rep. Sara Carruthers of her colleagues who persist in opposing the speaker or refuse to attend caucus meetings. “We’re on the right path, doing the right things, wanting to get good legislation passed and he’s helping them do that. And then, bam, it blows up.” From Columbus to Phoenix to the halls of Congress, the Republican Party has been stuck in a prolonged internal conflict, with power struggles and primary challenges becoming as much of a GOP staple as tax cuts and tough-on-crime rhetoric... https://apnews.com/article/republicans-house-leadership-chaos-states-infighting-bb5d9287214cd5aa0a1fdf03b56bebcb Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctm Posted October 11, 2023 Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 Scalise defeats Jordan in conference vote 113-99. His name will advance to floor vote. Republicans defeated a rule change to require 217 votes in conference. This almost assures multiple votes on the floor for Scalise or someone else to get to 217. begooode 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
begooode Posted October 11, 2023 Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 The big question is how the fuck did Jordan do that well in the first place?! can't all be Trump effect, or is it. Here comes the political show vote as much for the personal branding, bargaining, and Fox news hits rather than getting on with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctm Posted October 11, 2023 Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 Scalise (113) + Jordan (99) = 212 It's unclear whether the remaining republicans were absent, voted present or for another candidate. But those few votes could be critical to getting to 217 and that's assuming all of Jordan's voters switch to Scalise, which is probably doubtful initially.

Number9 Posted October 12, 2023 Report Share Posted October 12, 2023 Why are the repubs trying to oust Santos? They say he committed crimes. Trump has committed many, many more. It seems they would be asking him to be VP. MadMax 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
