The editorial board of National Review is urging House Republicans not to oust Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) when the lower chamber of Congress convenes on Friday.

Because the GOP boasts only 219 seats in the House, Johnson can afford to lose only one member of his caucus if he wants to hold on to the speaker’s gavel. One such member, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), has already promised to vote against Johnson, so his margin for error is now nonexistent.

Praising Johnson as “a reliable and thoughtful conservative who has proved a shrewd tactician” and “managed the — for anyone in his role — all-important relationship with [Donald] Trump well,” National Review urged the other 218 Republicans in the House to stand by Johnson.

“It is also important to view Johnson’s leadership in context. Trying to lead a fractious caucus with only a few votes to spare is always going to be a thankless job. It becomes even more difficult to get anything done when the Senate and White House are controlled by the other party, as has been the case during Johnson’s tenure,” submitted the editors. “In the real world, given that there is currently no other candidate who can garner 218 votes and that the House cannot conduct business without a speaker in place, the only alternative to Johnson is chaos.”

1. Interesting National Review thought Process

Urge people who voted for insanity in large numbers to stop the insanity. I suggest the NR review recent history and recalibrate their thoughts to be in conjunction and in alignment with the agents of chaos and insanity. They will discover it is on purpose. It is what mobs do when they know not of governance, leadership or money management. They are however well versed in insanity.

3. My guess is Dems will eventually bail him out

But they damn well better get something significant.

10. They didn't bail him out last time.

They've bailed him out to keep the Gubmint running, but not for the Speaker's Chair. Dems will vote 100% for Jeffries, every time.

Let the Repukes twist in the wind, as long as it takes.

4. I prefer a little bit of chaos in the House between tomorrow and January 20th.

Lets see them beat each other up a bit while they wait for their leader to be sworn in.
Maybe they could play the "whose the worst possible choice?" game for a couple of weeks before making some utter jackass the Speaker of the House.

7. Leadership? you jest!

[patphil]

8. Well, yeah, I did say the word "leader". Poor choice of words.

Trump isn't a leader, he's a dictator.

12. Not picking on you!

[patphil]

13. I understand.

no problem.

5. God! God is who is left out of this picture. Mike is a man of God. He told us that God put him in the speakership.

Why he is so holey, he only jerks off in front of his son who only jerks off in fro --- sorry. I don't know that. I only know they watch porn together.

Back to the point. Any congress critter who votes against God's will is gonna get a lightning bolt, straight up his ass.

There. I warned 'em.
