If republicans actually oust Matt in the house, that will be some of the best news from republicans since 2016. I highly doubt they can right their ship at this point but this would certainly be a good signal to Americans that they’re through with chaos.
Through with chaos? Next year we have Trump running from a fucking jail cell
“Through” was too strong of a word, you’re right
He's my rep, so I have a close eye on this dirtbag.
He's young and already loaded with baggage. You can have one or the other, not both. He kept his mouth shut while his court case was in the air, since that fell off the radar for lack of evidence/testimony, and he gave it some time to blow over, he thinks he can get mouthy again. He cannot.
He makes headlines and has an R in front of his name. Fair enough for the good people of NW Florida. Not good enough for the GOP leadership.
Leadership has to be thinking, "If this young asshole would have piped the fuck down, we might have done something with him in a decade or so."
Like Boebert and Greene, he thinks anything goes after the GOP anarchy of the last few years. Nope. I'd wager he gets his ass handed to him, like that one young pup from NY.
What happened in 2016?
Trump was elected in 2016
I wouldn’t say that was good news but I guess it depends on your perspective.
That would probably play well to the MAGA base in Florida, for a ~~2024~~ 2026 run for governor.
Nah, Florida is too important to the gop. Ron may seem like a complete imbecile, but he did a lot of hard work to win a lot of favour before his governor run. They basically gave him the governorship as a reward for backing out of a Senate run when Rubio failed out of his presidential bid.
If Gaetz is actually messing with the cohesiveness of the gop like it's being projected and they turn on him..... he's done. Like, thrown to the wolves, release the dirt done.
Oh it seems the next Gubernatorial election in FL is 2026, so DeSantis won't have to chose between his VP campaign and the Governorship in 2024. I thought he was going to have drop one and Gaetz was posturing to succeed him. But DeSantis is also term limited and can't run again in FL in 2026.
Desantis won’t be vp. He went against trump and trump is that petty
Yeah there is no I respect what you did for Trump, he's an egomaniac
Florida has limits on consecutive governorships. DeSantis can't run for governor in 2026 regardless
Which will probably turn into a 2028 run for the Oval Office
one House Republican told White House correspondent and Fox anchor Jacqui Heinrich, "No one can stand him at this point. A smart guy without morals."
So... is it the "smart" bit that bugs these Republicans? Because the other bit surely can't be the issue for them.
It's safe to assume they meant "smart" as in sarcastic.
Conservatives love using it that way as an insult:
Oh, so now you want to be smart, boy?
I highly doubt their issue with Gaetz is his IQ, it's that he won't sit down and shut up when told.
Turns out even pedophiles have a limit.
