I think what is more likely is what "reasonable" Republicans we have left are going to find they have more in common with Democrats then the FS loonies.

I hope so. The question is - what legislation and priorities can the FS loonies hold hostage with the entire House?

Credit where it’s due, NH Republicans don’t take kindly to overt attempts to force them to do stuff. And the FS movement ain’t subtle. Pretty sure the FS reps will come out with a ransom list and the GOP will tell them to get bent.

  1. We don’t know who the majority will be.

  2. The current majority leader is a pragmatist. He’ll go whichever way the wind blows.

Just had what I suspect is one of them come at me HARD in a comment here. I'm not sure why they think coming out at the get-go being obstinate and belligerent toward others is going to win hearts and minds, but I don't claim to understand the libertarian/FS psyche, so there's that.

I think you're right. If anything, I think 2022-2024 is going to show the entire country which legislators/reps are serious, and which aren't - state-by-state, and nationwide.

What does the majestic loon have to do with those FS carpetbaggers?
