mspart Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Are they going to vote again today? Is Jordan going to put an arm bar on anyone? 1/2 Nelson? Full Nelson? Why is it called a Nelson anyway? mspart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plasmodium Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 9 minutes ago, Wrestleknownothing said: Total so far is 13 votes for someone other then Jordan (5 for McCarthy, 4, for Scalise, 3 for Zeldin, 1 for Garcia), 1 absent, 4 did not vote. Sounds like Jeffries will get more than anyone else this round. Can't believe there aren't 7 Republicans with the cajones to do what is right and vote for Jeffries.

It doesn't take many to mess up a speaker vote. As we have seen. I wonder how many speaker votes have ended with some dissent from the caucus other than this session of Congress. Did Pelosi ever receive a no vote from a D in all her years as speaker? Did Hastert? Did anyone else? mspart It is rarely unanimous, but it is also rare that a second vote is needed no matter the size of the majority. Pelosi's last election to Speaker, when Democrats held a similarly slim majority, there were two votes for others. " Multiple roll calls have been necessary only 15 times since 1789; and, at the time, not since 1923 (68th Congress), when a closely divided House needed 9 ballots to elect Frederick H. Gillett speaker" So McCarthy and now Jordan are unprecedented in the last 100 years. Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plasmodium Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Now we watch the swamp rats at their finest. Jordan - being the alpha swamp rat for now - will threaten, cajole, bribe, blackmail and lie to win. Will definitely be an interesting Congress. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plasmodium Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Ken Buck has it stuck in his craw that some colleagues won't come clean on 2020 election fraud. Be interesting if he made Jordan tell the truth about the 2020 election to get his vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boehner was elected without a membership majority in 2015. He got 216 votes when a majority of members would have been 218.

Wrestleknownothing Posted October 17, 2023 Author Share Posted October 17, 2023 I am curious who voted 1 in the poll. I think it was after the first vote was known to fail. I want to take the other side of all their action. Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WrestlingRasta Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 There is a passage by white boy rastas Stick Figure and Slightly Stoopid that I believe are more than fitting for the vote today: Who wants control, over everything? If money steals your soul, only trouble it will bring. It's loving as a whole, the only thing for conquers we. So let it be told, let the whole world dem sing.

WrestlingRasta Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 No second vote today. Currently set for 11:00 tomorrow. Which means Jordan doesn’t have the flips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
