Can you explain it? In this case, it's a Trumpish Dem, vs a highly progressive Dem. Why would this not be the absolute time to "break from tradition" so to say for Nancy, and support the more progressive candidate? Either way the candidate is within the party right. So what benefit is Nancy, or the party, gaining from keeping the guy with the Trumpish voting record and policy support, over the candidate with policy more in-line with the current party's initiative?

Trump isn't some kind of electoral juggernaut. He got 46.1% of the vote in 2016, has been a disaster in office, and his approval appears to have a ceiling around there. Trump is a slight favorite at this point, but it's close to a tossup.

It kind of baffles me that people forget how razor close the last election was.

she didn't just get speaker because everyone likes her. they have to cut deals.

the incumbents elevate her, and she's gotta back them whenever they need it.

break your deals, people break em with you. and if you support them and they still lose, you just make the same deal with the next one.




that's just how power works.


gonna throw this in both threads.

A) You gotta keep your word in her position. Period.
B) If you break the rule even once, it's not a rule anymore, and suddenly every instance of the Speaker endorsing an incumbent is seen not as her just doing her job but as giving an opinion on the race.

That's my understanding as well. It's absolutely poisonous.



Who?

And to be fair, our board contains rigid Republican Party partisans of Canadian descent.

My vote for Wednesday goes to @MikeMcMann

He’s there, you see him, but it just doesn’t matter. He doesn’t fit in anywhere exactly, he’s not terrible like Monday but he’s also not the weekend. You know Wednesday is the middle of the week, and nobody takes it very seriously. A slow Wednesday best describes the day of the week as mike.

Wednesday is hump day you lazy socialist Canadian.
