    By making this stupid decision without consulting with the GOP House caucus and then scurrying away from it without taking any responsibility when there was push-back all three of these candidates demonstrated that they have exactly the sort of judgement, foresight, and bravery that the GOP looks for in a Speaker.

    And the GOP has gotten so bad that they don’t dare appear on Fox because it’s so certain that it’ll just make them look bad.

    Shame that that’s still undoubtedly not going to be enough to make their angry and/or moronic supporters step back and take a good look at who it is they’re voting for, but at least it’s cynically amusing for the rest of us.

    I mean… Could they really make it worse? Gaetz already aired all the dirty laundry on the house floor. We all know how screwed up the GOP is…

    Lmao honestly this is extremely amusing to watch. It’s like they don’t even get that the rest of the country is watching in amused disbelief.

    Damn. Conservative politicians fight as much as left voters, and lefty politicians are as lock step as conservative voters. 😂

        I don’t think I was so wrong. I feel like every conservative voter just follows whatever fox says, and votes for their primary candidate without issue, meanwhile, heaxbear literally has an instance called “the dunk tank” for “dunking on libs”.

        Yet Democrat politicians basically don’t infight compared to Republicans. They always vote lock step on big policy when they need to.

        Meanwhile Republicans do this shit, and it’s absolutely wild!
