What do you mean by walk across the floor?
I think he means that Jeffries needs to stop pleading with the extremists (and walk back to his side of the house and stop even trying)
Ah, I thought it was walk across the aisle to save the people who can't even sort their own damn house
Well I disagree vehemently with that; the only way to get things done is to talk.
You don't get anything positive done by negotiating with fascists, paleoconservatives and some of the worst libertarians and liars of no fixed ideology in the world.
Listening to them at all inevitably leads to outcomes much worse than no change.
No, there's genuinely no advantage to negotiating with the nutcase section of the GOP. The only thing that achieves, over the past 30 years I've been watching politics, is shifting the Overton Window further to the right.
Democrats are already center right Republicans, they don't need to move further right
We're going to dance. Don't speak.
I know what you're saying so please stop explaining. Don't tell me 'cause it hurts!
I know you're good. I know you're real good.
Hush hush, DARLING!
Well, the political calculus suggests Jeffries only needs 5 Republicans to become speaker. That would be a wild display of incompetence by Republicans, which they have provided several examples recently, but that one would be a real gem. One for the history books
