A Few Things to Keep in Mind about The GQP House Majority
1. The Senate can and will vote down any GQP partisan measure sent to them by the GQP House.
2. President Joe Biden can veto any bill sent to him, should the Senate not vote down a GQP bill.
3. There is no unity in the House. Any reasonable proposals by the majority of House Republicans will be voted against by at least 6 GQP House "rebel" members. Anything proposed by those "rebel" members will not pass in the House. There will be few resolutions or bills that can get a Republican majority vote because of that.
4. While it will take only one GQP House member to call for a vote to have McCarthy removed as speaker, there is no majority that will vote to remove him. Period. While that means we are stuck with McCarthy, remember that McCarthy is not a bright fellow.
5. Several of the "rebel" GQP House members may well be charged or named by the DOJ as unindicted co-conspirators in the Jan. 6. insurrection. That will not be helpful to those "rebels."
6. All committees doing "investigations" of Democrats will have members from both parties. While the GQP will have majorities, those will be majorities of only one or two members. The Democrats on those committees can speak out and explain what is going on. There will be no "free lunch" in the House of Representatives.
7. Both the White House and the Senate are Democratic Party strongholds. Both will check any nonsense from the GQP House.
8. The Department of Justice is an Executive Branch department. The House has no control over it whatsoever.
9. None of the "rebels" in the House are particularly smart people. That does not work to their benefit.
