Emmer drops out. Quelle surprise.
Maybe a handful of reasonable Republicans could join with the Dems and elect Jeffries.
Whose next? The defendant?

More likely that a number of Democrats will just vote "Present" when they find a palatable speaker. Too bad, because Emmer was as close as they were going to get for a while.

Dean Phillips of MN said he would do that for Emmer. Not sure he'd have had enough friends in the party willing to do the same, though.

Congratulations to Emmer. Having the clown car portion of the Republican Party say they can't support you is a huge win in my book.

More like the Clown Bus lately.

Nah, that’s on permanent lease by the Squad, Pelosi, and the POTUS.

Yeah you got gaetz, mtg, and the the girl getting felt up lol. I think they should nominate Haley.

Or Santos. He only has 10 counts instead of 91. Pelosi 1 ballot

All of them less crazy than the squad and Pelosi.

You’re just jealous Boebert wouldn’t let you take her out for a play date. :)

Obey. Or else.

[bobbiemcgee]

Yes and Yes.

Yeah, Emmer is a total loser who has the support of the greasy palm Rs.
