“We set a goal to stop the Biden agenda, to win the
majority and to fire Nancy Pelosi. We have just achieved
all three of those.”

What a lofty vision for America!    Putin must be thrilled!

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/11/20/democrats-republicans-trump-pence-sunday-shows/

But they can hardly talk about their REAL agenda for
minority rule -

Unless they're Rick Scott of course -

 https://finance.yahoo.com/news/rick-scott-unveils-11-point-005824327.html

He's not afraid to talk about HIS (and their) actual
platform -

= Tax cuts for job creator billionaire GOP megadonors and
tax increases for poor people

= Entitlement reform meaning privatizing, cutting back,
or abolishing social security and medicare

= Downsizing the Federal government meaning less regulation
and tax compliance for GOP megadonors

And that's along with the rest of the GOP private agenda -

 https://www.political-scrapbook.net/2022-credos.html#gop

Well, you can't get elected without GOP megadonors!

==

But maybe getting elected is not the goal!    It's just a
means to a goal.     How many career politicians forget,
or lose sight, of their goal?   Or never had one to begin
with, except getting elected?    Thus they sell their
souls -

Compare - Know your Why!!!

 https://washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/11/20/nancy-pelosi-lessons-advice-kevin-mccarthy/

Democrats know their Why - favoring

= raising taxes on millionaires

=  supporting labor unions

= raising the federal minimum wage

all popular with GOP voters - but not GOP megadonors.
So who wins?

Looks like the Republicans might have a slim majority in
the next Congress - if they are lucky, as large as the
Democrats' current 5 votes.

But what's going to be the largest voting bloc in the new
House? Certainly the conservative and moderate and mildly
progressive Democrats!  Under Nancy Pelosi's leadership,
they are more numerous and better disciplined than any of
the Republican factions.

McCarthy has been hoping to be Speaker the way Clay hoped
to be President, but instead -

 https://foxnews.com/politics/group-staffed-by-ex-trump-officials-working-to-block-mccarthys-speaker-bid

Maybe the Democrats can influence the GOP choice.
How about Fitzpatrick and Gottheimer for Speaker?

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_Solvers_Caucus

They were able to co-chair the Problem Solvers effectively
- could they agree on a way to share responsibility if
Fitzpatrick were Speaker?

Don't like them?   How about Cheney, Kinzinger, Pence,
Ryan, Boehner, or McMullin?   Or any of the ten who voted
to impeach Trump and paid the price?    To avoid something
worse, some of these could get some Democratic support -
and that might be enough.

If you make a political donation, you soon discover
that fundraising mail IS spam with its constant deluge
of critical fundraising reporting dates and improbable
matching donations and personal messages from Biden or
Obama or Pelosi that they probably never wrote - and
that's just from the Democrats that I actually support!
Worse is from Trump and the Dixiecrat Trumpist GOP that
I haven't had a kind word for, or donated a penny, in 30
years! Nothing new - when I wrote a critical letter to
Nixon in the White House long ago, I promptly got a form
reply thanking me for my support.     The only (paper)
letter I ever got from a legislator that contained a
specific response to my specific issue was from Mark
Hatfield 45 years ago, a Republican of the kind now shunned
by the Trumpist GOP.

It's best to use a dedicated separate email address for
communications with political candidates and organizations,
and charitable organizations.       That way you can
ignore them when you don't have time, which is most of
the time.      If you can afford a separate cell phone,
so much the better.

Can America be as smart as Israel?    A broad-based
coalition around rule of law finally ousted the Netanyahu
cult of personality, who was just a smarter Trump.

 https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/11/opinion/democratic-ticket-liz-cheney-2024.html

Predictable responses from the usual suspects with a vested
interest in preserving Trumpism -

 https://www.foxnews.com/media/biden-cheney-2024-new-york-times-tom-friedman

But there are precedents -

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Union_Party_(United_States)

Think how much better off we'd be if we'd done that in
2016 -

 https://www.political-scrapbook.net/archive/electors.html

Because it's no longer Republican vs Democratic or
conservative vs liberal, but cult-of-personality vs
rule-of-law.
