I can't believe he actually said "we might surrender if you tell us the terms", I figured that was a bit of editorializing

We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.


This may be the outcome of those talks: Club for Growth is switching to support. It appears to be in exchange for them being able to effectively spend without competition in a bunch of primaries, giving them a lot of control versus the Congressional Leadership Fund. That said, it's unlikely these are the only terms involved, and idk how deep CfG reaches into the nutjob part of the party.

So is this one going to be an actual vote or just another thing where one side can conveniently be ignored even though they were audibly louder?

Whoever it was flipped to Yes now. No breakaways from the Republicans so far, so it looks like they'll pull off adjournment,

Being as this vote is run by the clerks, and not either side, it may actually close on time. It may be defeated. I don't have a lot of hope, but there is a little.

It absolutely owns that after the GOP had a bad election cycle due to them nominating too many insanely bad far right candidates, the result is the far right winning concessions to make it even harder to stop them from getting nominated

I mean, Costas is basically saying here that the Republicans are banking on a couple of Democrats voting present or not showing up because Gaetz + Boebert and any 3 others are enough to keep him from winning
