Emmer drops out of speaker race just hours after winning GOP nomination
The majority whip beat out a crowded field for the nomination, but it became clear he was far short of the 217 votes he needed to win — particularly with Donald Trump’s opposition.

WASHINGTON — Just hours after beating out a crowded field to win the GOP nomination for speaker, Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., on Tuesday dropped his bid after it became clear he could not win the 217 votes needed on the floor.

We don’t just need a Speaker of the House, we need a Listener of the House.

If we can reach common understanding, listen, respond, and reflect to one another, we’ll be better off as a conference, and a leader will emerge to rally and lead America.

“…we need a Listener of the House…”

Yeah, sure, that’ll work.

Elect clowns, expect a circus.

For the love of God, make the stupid stop.

Previously:

Elect republican clowns to Congress, expect a clown show (October 3, 2023)

This. Exactly. This. (October 4, 2023)

When all you ever do is feed the beast it will never be enough (October 5, 2023)

You voted for the rule, schmuck (October 6, 2023)

Maybe you should elect a Speaker at some point? (October 12, 2023)

This hasn’t aged well (October 13, 2023)

What else would you expect, Ann (r)? (October 14, 2023)

You asked (October 15, 2023)

There is no such thing as a “moderate” republican – part the infinity (October 16, 2023)

You are the choices you make (October 16, 2023)

The insurrectionist clown in a yellow tie (October 19, 2023)

Who’s next? (October 20, 2023)

You keep asking… (October 21, 2023)

We’re not surprised by this, Mark (r) (October 23, 2023)

This aged really, really well (October 23, 2023)

“There are a lot of personal grievances that are hindering our conference’s ability to unite behind one candidate for Speaker…”

That would be the reason to flip the House.

There are a lot of personal grievances that are hindering our conference’s ability to unite behind one candidate for Speaker.

We need to get over these personal grievances and focus on the business of the American people. It’s not about us.

It’s about the three-quarters of a million people we represent.

Today:

Mark Alford
[October 21, 2023]
Whom do you want to see as the next speaker?

There is much hilarity in the responses:

Donald J. Trump

Jordan

You

You!!!

You Mark Alford

You

Uh, no.

A house divided, will not stand.
Please get it together, time is running out. Unite!

And who is responsible for that?

Jim Jordan

Is anyone going to tell them?

Good luck [….]

Luck has nothing to do with it.

Jordan or McCarthy

Not keeping current with the news.

Jordan would have been Great! The fact that the Demotrash hate him was all the better, but I like him on his Committee. Sessions from Tx would Be good. McDonlds out of Fl would be good. It has to be a Conservative, no Moderate Rino will do!

Don’t hold back, tell us how you really feel.

Trump , Jim jordan

Jim Jordon

Trump! Or Jim Jordan

Jim Jordan

Jim Jordan

Jim Jordan

You are not going to find anyone who can please everyone. BUT, everyone needs to be respectful and work together for the people. After all, congress works FOR “we the people”. This is so ridiculous and an embarrassment to the world.

You!

Jordan or Donalds. Russ Fry is great for the future too. Or Mark Alford! If we don’t get a Speaker who puts the American working class FIRST, we’re doomed. #MAGA #AmericanPopulist

Sarah Hickabee!

Uh.

Jordan

Jim Jordan! The Rinos are afraid he’s going to break the cookie jar they’ve been dipping into along with the Democrats.

At this point anyone. You all are making us look ridiculous. Get it done.

There’s that.

Jordan

DJT

YOU!!!!!!

Trump

Someone who can compromise and work across the aisle. Nothing will ever get done if we can’t work together!

Nikki Haley

Jim Jordan

Who can you trust

That’s why we’re where we are.

None of the 22 that voted for people that weren’t even running they should all have their heads checked. Clowns.

Or, looking at the 194:

Jim Jordan.. you next time..[….]

TRUMP or JORDAN

Jordan is the Man!!!!!

Evidently not.

Jim Jordan

Morgan Luttrell

Someone who doesn’t owe favors to democrats or lobbyists. And def a strong Republican.

strong Conservative

Like when you asked this last time, I’ll answer Jim Jordon again. You responded last time he didn’t want it.
He did this time and you guys couldn’t get your Rinos in line.
Shame on you all, despicable.

Right wingnuttery simply cannot fail, it can only be sabotaged from within.

Trump or Jordan

Jim jordan

No one none of our options are good ones

And how did we get to this point?

Michael Buffer

Jim Jordan

Does it really matter? The people haven’t had a voice in YEARS and YEARS… Why worry about it now?

Alfred E. Neumann?

Jim Jordan

Jim Jordan or Dan Crenshaw

really Crenshaw he wants war and to keep sending money to Ukraine.

Personally? Just asking.

Anyone, The House has already failed the constituents….we need an undivided house to have any chance of winning next year. The House can’t get anything done because they are so busy trying to “one up” each other….get it done….anyone so we can attempt to get America on track again. Republicans are to blame….hate to say it…..
There are SO MANY important decisions to be made and we look like 🤡

Why, yes, you do.

Donald Trump

Jordan

Please, get someone elected. It’s awful watching this. We look foolish.

Elect clowns, expect a circus.

Run Mark, Run!

That would infringe on Josh Hawley’s (r) trademark.

How about we see the Republican Party stand together. If they would stand together half as much as the dems they would have it made. SMH

Does it matter who we want to see? There will be 20 republicans that are only hell bent on extending power of the speaker pro tem that has Pelosi backing.. I’m so sick of our embarrassment of a government it’s ridiculous.. I’m over it and at this point just hope it shuts down and doesn’t reopen [….] as a Republican I can admit, Republicans caused this..

Is always the first to complain when their trash pickup is late.

Come on get your stuff together.

And…

But while we’re distracted by all this nonsense.. what deals are being done behind our backs? More money to foreign countries? More military, equipment and food being shipped out of our country? More human trafficking? What? It’s always something. [….]

Someone who push for no foreign aid.

Jordan- because why does the swamp not want him SO bad. Anyone they’re fighting so hard against, tells me all I need to know.

Slept through school when they covered…everything.

Someone who has some f@&king common sense

That would eliminate everyone mentioned so far.

As I stated in an email I sent you yesterday. The House needs to quit acting like spoiled middle school students who want to make life Hell for others! O belive Mike Huckabee had a great idea: all Reresentatives should be locked in a room together without food / drink until they reach an agreement and support the Republican nominee!

How would they signal? Just asking.

Almost anyone. The party is falling apart because of a 4% fringe is having a temper tantrum. The least effective group of representatives would rather commit political arson than learn to play on a team.

There is no such thing as a “moderate” republican. There is no “fringe”.

George Santos.

May have been sarcasm. It’s hard to tell.

Somebody who hasn’t been in the Federal office for the last 25+ years

Because actual knowledges is…what?

Trump or Jordan, but it’ll never happen. You guys are just playing games and not getting anything done. Should have stayed there until this got done. What an embarrassment!

Jordan , no rinos. Ousting McCarthy sure exposed how swampy some in the republican party are. Just remember your constituents are watching and will vote in the primary
