Well, howdy there, internet people.
Let's bow again.
So today we are going to talk about Republicans in the House
and promises made and promises unkept and future promises
and what they may do with them.
OK.
So the budget deal that's out.
McCarthy brought the deal back.
and it is not what the hard right of the Republican Party really wanted.
Not even close. It doesn't get them what was promised when McCarthy became speaker.
I mean, we knew back then that it wasn't going to happen.
We said he wasn't going to be able to keep these promises.
He wasn't able to keep them.
The hard-right, they made those promises to their constituents.
They whipped them up into a frenzy, we're going to get this and this and this and this wild budget and all of this
stuff.
Now it doesn't look like that's going to happen, so what is the far-right in the Republican Party going to do?
That's the question, because they did get one promise from McCarthy
that they could use. A motion to vacate. Remove McCarthy's speaker. They can file
that motion. So they could vote against it and file the motion. That's option one.
That is what will appease their base. They could vote against it and do
nothing else which means the base is going to be let down and for some that
might be the the moment that they start to think that the far-right in the
Republican Party doesn't really mean what they say or they can vote for it
and go to their base and say this was the best we could get. I have no idea
they're going to do. But those are kind of their options. The thing is, if they
go the route of trying to remove him, there's no guarantee they'll be
successful. Because while the far right in the Republican Party, they may be
upset, most representatives, I think, are going to fall behind McCarthy on this.
Which means they may want to keep him as speaker.
If they go down that road of trying to remove him and fail, it looks even worse on them.
looks worse than you know not doing what they said they were going to do. I think
most people expect politicians to lie but Republicans really don't like it if
you fail and I think that is the political math they have to weigh. The
other thing is even if they were to convince a bunch of Republicans to
vote against McCarthy, vote in favor of removing him. I don't think they'd be
able to convince so many that the Democratic Party couldn't give McCarthy
the votes to stay in power, and causing the far-right to fail, that would probably
be worth it to them. So when McCarthy says that he's not worried about them
attempting to remove him, because that's a statement he's made, that's probably the
math he's doing. He's probably very well aware of the fact that it's a small
group of representatives who would try to push it. They probably wouldn't get the
votes. They probably wouldn't get votes outside of their own little group, and
even if they did get a few, there might be some goodwill on the Democratic side
of the aisle to keep him in power, especially if it's, you know, damaging
people like the space laser lady or other far-right personalities. The budget
in the debt ceiling, that was really just the beginning of the political drama
that is going to unfold from this. Assuming that this goes forward, there's
going to be a lot of infighting in the Republican Party over this. There will be
Republicans undoubtedly in the Senate saying that they don't want to pass it,
trying to grandstand. So you're going to see more infighting. You're going to see
more disruption within the Republican Party. It may lead to a motion or to get
rid of McCarthy. I don't necessarily think it would be successful because I
think the Democratic Party would actually save him. Not because they like
him, but because it's good politics. It would be good to save McCarthy and
damage the far-right part of the Republican Party. So it's gonna get
interesting. Anyway, it's just a thought. Y'all have a good day.
