  1. Don't pick a unicorn Republican. We need a true born again conservative as a Speaker of the House so that they can get some order in this country. We don't need a Socialist/Communist as a Speaker of the House.

  2. Reporter: So, House Republicans, what are you doing today?

    House Republicans: Nothing.

    Reporter: But you did that yesterday.

    House Republicans: We're not finished.

  3. Jeffries for Speaker!

  4. The Washington Machine is the US Mafia! Wake up America! They all blackmail each other.

  5. Republicans are criminal sociopaths. How can Emmer even pretend to be a viable candidate? It's like a man in a chicken suit saying he's an attorney.

  6. GOP senators just had a meeting and decided to change the name of their party to GLP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GRAND LOSERS PARTY. I think it fits.

  7. Well this aged poorly πŸ˜‚

  8. I don't think the Trump Republicans realise how many voters they are converting to Democrats. The Republican party needs to get rid of Trump before it is too late. Before long there won't be a Republican party. Please do something to send that mentally ill Trump to the hospital.

  9. I vote Mickey Mouse as Speaker of the house πŸ˜…

  10. non-funtioning government!

    Mark liberty safe from abuse.

  13. The GQP should just elect Bill Cosby. He's a rapist so he's their type of guy. Hes black so they can pretend they aren't racist. He's a convicted felon so that elicit everything they love. A fighter and one who was railroaded by the justice system on bogus charges. Since their orange Jesus Don the Con doesn't want to be speaker. This is at least the 2nd best they could do.

  14. The Trumptard Republicans don’t even want to respect interracial marriages now?

  15. Emmer was too sane for these Trumptard lunatics.

  16. Great, another Speaker of the Uniparty.

    Vote Harder !
