A Dem controlled House probably accepts it just to be done with the orange man. Trump is an idiot with a fragile ego. I don't think that's going to happen.

Belize Posted November 14 Share Posted November 14 In any event, House Democrats are going to end up with 214 or 215 seats, 3-4 fewer than a majority. Meaning Republicans can't afford to lose any. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If yeah, then fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu House seats can only be filled via special elections, Senate seats have temporary appointments depending on the individual state. But the reality is that these House seats are all dark red seats almost guaranteed to go red, so it's a temporary inconveniece. The caveat is that post-Dobbs, the highest propensity voters who are most likely to follow all the news and participate in special elections are disproportionately Democratic. So there may be surprises. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know he has to have some dirt on Trump but he'd also likely be implicating himself. Edited November 14 by Sieg67 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_lost_username_ Posted November 14 Share Posted November 14 18 hours ago, Raptorpat said: uh ok? He picked a guy who is one of the most hated by his colleagues in the House. It’s like a middle finger to Kevin McCarthy who dragged his balls through gravel and glass to get Trump to love him. I don’t see this bringing together the House Republican factions that hate each other worse than Democrats. The one hope I see in the Trump appointments from the House is that Trump voters tend not to show up when he’s not on top of the ticket. But if you have a district that’s willing to elect Gaetz multiple times, they’re probably already predisposed to electing sacks of shit to office. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
