Buck on Speaker Johnson’s Re-election: There’s No Margin for Error, This Will Require Republicans to ‘Stick Together or They Get Nothing’

‘And this will be a very unproductive waste of a Congress’

RUSH EXCERPT:
BUCK: “Yes, I just think we need to appreciate the narrow majority. A pretty recent speaker has lost votes on the floor at some point in the selection. The speaker election. It is just the nature of the majority he has and it reinforces there is no margin for error in anything they do. Will require these members to appreciate they have to stick together or they get nothing. It is as simple as that. They stick together or they get nothing. They have ideas on things they want to do on immigration and taxes and are trying to figure out the best path I had to do that but all of those paths require every single one getting to one vote to get things done. We were talking about the simple question of who should be speaker? Now we will be talk about complex tried — tax trade- offs, physical trade-offs, the complexities of immigration, policy, all of these things people have very strong opinions on. It seems that you still have people that are very, I don’t know, self-centered. Whatever they think is the only thing that matters and if they don’t correct that worldview and realize that if they don’t give a little bit they will get nothing and this will be a very unproductive waste of a Congress.”
