oblong Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Gosar flipped to McCarthy. That guy looks weird.... his mannerisms. Almost like someone with Parkinson's or something like it. Mack will finish in the lead but will be short. Will they/can they change it to a plurality rather than majority? Are missing voters going to make the threshhold smaller to win? So that 218 isn't needed? Who isn't there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oblong Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Based on non votes McC needs 3 more votes. 431 voting members. But one of the D's that didn't vote is on their way back which will move his up to 217 required as there would be 432 voting members. So on a new vote he needs 4.

Norman and Gosar seem big, they didn't seem gettable to me. There's gonna be a lot of pressure on the remaining folks to flip. But the agreement is also delicate as well.

Harris was the shakiest, he just flipped. The other holdouts (Crane, Rosendale) are basically where the worm turns...

oblong Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 He's asked how he can expect to govern given how long this is taking and he says "This is good thing about it, because it takes this long we learn how to govern". What an incredible bullshitty non answer. I've heard better crap in job interviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
