Former Pennsylvania Republican congressman Charlie Dent is letting it be known that for the House to get in order they need to reach over the aisle with an olive branch. “The House Republican Conference is deeply fractured,” he said during an appearance on MSNBC’s “Alex Wagner Tonight.”
At this point it better be the biggest olive branch ever and with absolute guarantees, no b/s of trust me I’m your colleague I would never go back on my word. Republicans have lost any good faith and deserve to be treated as liars and cheats so any deal needs to be iron clad
I mean, it’s not like they’d honor an iron clad deal.
If there’s one thing the Republicans have made abundantly clear over the last decade it’s that they have zero integrity. Not personally as individuals; not collectively as a party. It’d almost be weird if they suddenly started keeping their word now.
You’re right, they have no rules so I hope Democrats don’t make any deal with Republicans
I’d be okay with a deal if it involved a Democratic speaker.
I will go to my grave trusting no one with R next to their name. 30 years ago I didn’t feel that way. 20 years ago I didn’t feel that way. 10 years ago I didn’t feel that way. Since then they have proven I should have.
It would require larger gestures than I can ever conceive them making for me to trust any R with power ever again. 100% I will die of old age before it could possibly happen.
And I always voted in the major elections, but I’m not missing anything, no matter how small, down to the tiniest local election, ever again, so I can cast my vote against whatever Republican is running.
