She is power hungry and is angling to eventually take McCarthy's job. I don't like her, she scares me and she should scare you as well

It would have to be McCarthy’s job first for her to take it.

Currently 212 Democrats and 222 Republicans in office.

Current count has McCarthy already losing 10 votes (7 Biggs, 3 Others). So, looks like Jeffries is going to get more votes than McCarthy is. Neither one will get enough to win the office, but it is telling that the minority leader will have more votes than the leading majority candidate.

A gerrymander that’s not quite so aggressive that it goes to the courts could/would have accomplished that.

Yes, it was around the time of the first impeachment IIRC. Honestly McCarthy is in that boat as well.

She’s a woman and a conservative, which takes a ton of bravery.

Yes, so brave to tell other women what they can or cannot do with their own bodies. And so conservative.

You say the same thing about black people who vote Republican, don't you?

Being a conservative isn't brave. In many parts of the country, it's basically the safest position you can stake out.

I haven't seen a proper conservative in years. These days we have Democrats who love this country and rabid Trump supporters who hate it and all that it stands for. She is in the latter camp. She also can't dress her way out of a paper bag.

+100

Conservatism is, by definition, about preserving the status quo. It has nothing whatsoever to do with new, forward-looking ideas of the sort that actually require any bravery.
