Johnson has shown himself to be a traitor and a swamp creature. A traitor is worse than an enemy, because an enemy at least has the decency to let you know they're your enemy. We have to purge out those who show themselves to be disloyal. It will hurt, we might lose the house and maybe the 2024 presidential election, but right now, we are hemorrhaging, and we can't heal until we cauterize the wound.
Elected representatives have to at least pretend to adhere to their constituents. This means that it may be better to have a shitty Republican as speaker vs risking a Democrat getting in, where they'll go full steam towards destroying our country. Republicans being Democrats from 10 years ago does have value, in that it minimizes the damage to our country and allows us to wise up and root out the enemies hidden within our midst.
Primary season is the time to root out these types completely, not in the middle of battle.
We can't reward this kind of behavior. If we do, then the RINOs will just keep walking all over us. How has playing political games worked out for us so far? We have to take a new approach, one based on principles instead of whatever we've been doing lately.
Something about MTG rubs me the wrong way...
Agree, this is dangerously stupid since the Republican majority is razor thin. Is she trying to get a democrat in as SOTH?
