Predictions on what happens with Mike Johnson?
Posted on 4/20/24 at 8:03 pm
Posted on 4/20/24 at 8:03 pm
Focused on Johnson’s future only.
5 scenarios for his future/ my predictions:
1) Johnson is kicked out in Sept
I think this is the least likely scenario. Democrats save Johnson, and Redjersey Uniparty won’t back Jeffries. They want someone they think they can control,
I think in the unlikely event Johnson is kicked out (even though the entire Republican electorate hates his fricking guts) some other warmonger establishment R is speaker and we have no change, except he openly campaigns against Trump.
2) Rs win house - Biden “wins” POTUS
Johnson stays. Status Quo, but more war and financial collapse. Establishment blames Freedom Caucus for losing the White House and so we hurl towards bankruptcy and idiocracy with no brakes.
I think this is second least likely. Uniparty Rs are not popular, so I can see them losing in Purple districts bc you may as well have a Democrat in there if you’re going to act like one. These neocons have no base and are legends in their own minds. They’re only safe in red states bc the primaries are done and nobody in those districts are voting for democommunists.
3) Rs lose house and Trump wins presidency )
This is possible bc Trump’s entire base hates every member of Congress and the feeling is mutual.
Democrats have blind hatred for republicans and don’t see any difference between Dan Crenshaw and Donald Trump.
If Rs lose the house happens, Jeffries is speaker and Johnson is definitely NOT minority leader.
We have gridlock. Johnson is kicked to curb, hopefully with the rest of House leadership.
4) Rs keep HR and Trump wins
Johnson is kicked to curb. Jordan becomes speaker and Johnson either moves back to Benton or becomes a lobbyist for prolifers.
5) Rs lose house and Biden wins
Who cares? We’l have no electricity and will be eating bugs

May hang on for a little longer, but basically his political career is over. He’ll be a lobbyist like the rest of the swamp creatures.

He was avg 3 hours sleep per night a few weeks ago.. after this week, he’s probably averaging 1-2 hours of sleep each night
Don’t know WTF has happened to him but he is not the same guy everybody thought he was going to be. It truly feels like someone has something very bad on him which is causing him to cave in to the dems. Something just doesn’t seem right

Here is a video of Trump saying Mike Johnson was 'doing a really good job' and coming out against any efforts to remove him.
This was 8 days ago at Trump's home.
All those people who are freaking out about Johnson but are silent on Trump are phonies.
Yup. That plus people like to find reasons to complain and be negative vs uniting and winning bigly in Nov. And will still blame others. GOPE, etc.

And Republicans frick the election up just like SCOTUS in 2022 with abortion.
I'm not for abortion, but SCOUS planned that just right in a election year

He committed political suicide. It's one thing to break away from your party and use the minority to push foreign war funding that your constituents DO NOT WANT. But he screamed for months that nothing would be funded without the Border being funded first.
Then he lied and spent 100 billion on foreign wars while our border remains wide open with literally millions of rapist and murderers flooding in,
I'm embarrassed he has the R-LA by his name, He's a uniparty swamp creature.
He had legit presidential potential one day but in two days he ended his entire career, He'll make a good mayor of Benton though.
Thursday: Johnson made history by relying on Democrats on the House Rules Committee to overcome objections from the majority and advance a rule bill to the House floor.
Friday: Democrats seized the House and helped Johnson clear a key procedural hurdle on the rule bill to set up Saturday’s floor vote. Voting “yes” were 165 Democrats and only 151 Republicans.
And with that he became the exact same as Ryan and McCarthy. He has to go. If we tolerate him then we are supporting the uni-party and the Biden regimes constant march to WW3 while our country is literally invaded.

You didn't even read the post you replied to.
Trump supports what Johnson is doing.

I would love to see Jordan as speaker should Johnson be forced out. However, Jordan will have the same challenges as Johnson being the R's have a bare minimum numbers advantage and we know the D's vote in lockstep.
Two problems I can see are:
1 - The R's do not vote lockstep and it would only take a couple of them to flip or resign prior to November and we end up with a Marxist in Jeffries as Speaker.
2 - Even if Jordan is elected Speaker, he will face the same challenges as Johnson and we will be where we are right now.
It's a no-win situation. We don't have the votes to rule like Pelosi and force our agenda. We could send every America First Bill to the Senate to be sat on and not debated. Then we have a senile *POTUS who we know would have his handlers simply veto anything that reached his desk.
I am a fan of the Freedom Caucus. However, sometimes it is better to play smart first, then play aggressive. The R's better be damned sure they have the vote for Jordan, or whomever before they force out Johnson.

Trump is fully aware of the aspects and implications of his statement of support for Johnson. It’s striking how this situation has joined avowed Trump haters and their foes on the same page and team. IMO that should make those involved perhaps take another look at their footing in this matter, for what should be obvious reasons.
I digress. Back to Trump, if certain ones amongst us were to take a breather for a few moments and ponder the fact that Trump is obviously not at all concealing his position, in a rational world the thought should arise that hey, the guy ain’t blowing in the trade winds and is resolute in his stance. And of course as I would expect his viewpoint isn’t exactly meshing with one of those notorious oft-times bellicose and belligerent internet message boards. Thankfully.

What is trump supposed to do? Tell the guy he fricking sucks and lose all of his support?
Posted on 4/20/24 at 8:40 pm to Speckhunter2012
Something for Team Trump to consider;
Trump is for funding Ukraine
Trump is for funding Israel
Trump doesn't want the border fixed before the election.
Knowing this, why the hate for Johnson?
