  1. clearly some deals were struck to get him over the line.
  2. Get the lettuce ready once he passes some stuff MAGA will shank him just like they did McCarthy.
  3. most likely it's when both caucuses have a designated nominee the pro tem brings it to the floor if both are ready.
  4. All of this. Quinn goes early because of his talent. But I wouldn't be surprised to learn that some teams have taken him off of their draft board completely due to his injury history.
  5. Can't find the tweets but apparently Johnson agreed to bring Ukraine aid to a floor vote as long as it included additional oversight. The latter is to give cover to the MAGA folk so they can vote for it. Not sure that's enough to get him over the finish line but it appears he's at least making deals with the non-MAGA crazies. The Speaker is almost always from the party base and Johnson fits that mold. The key is whether or not that person can work with the Senate and White House to get legislation passed. We know Jordan wouldn't do that at all and was only running to wreck everything. Exactly. He's got the "street cred" to pull it off. Unfortunately MAGA has shown that if you don't do exactly what they say then they will stab you in the back, so we'll probably be doing this again in a few weeks after they avert another shutdown and get the Israeli/Ukrainian aid passed.

    Balogun relegates Jozy to the bench right from the start. Jozy was never as good as Balogun is right now and he's getting better. An in form Jozy should make the roster at least. He had just finished his first season at Sunderland in the EPL. I read this as being about the personnel. Berhalter is an albatross for even the most talented teams so I concede that point if he's included. The players from 2014 who I think make the current roster are Altidore, Dempsey, Bradley, Beasley, and Howard. Howard and Dempsey definitely start. Now compare that to the current roster and you have Adams, Pulisic, Balogun, Weah, McKinnie, Ream, and Robinson who start over anyone. Probably Reyna too. Anyway glad Jozy kicked this hornet's nest because that 2014 team was pretty good but the ceiling on the current pool is much, much higher. Just need that spare in charge of them to get a clue.
