yelling back at them for the first time in a public way that they re hoping that the fever breaks. it s unclear if that will happen but that is a dynamic that could play out as we re seeing let me bring in former congressman rodney davis of illinois because congressman, it seems your friend, kevin mccarthy is headed to defeat on this first ballot. obviously people could change votes before the gavel comes down but right now he is 11 votes back from where he needs to be or rather seven votes back from where he needs to be. he can only afford to lose four, he lost 11 right now. and what do you make of the argument that mccarthy set this stage for this to happen himself by being tolerant of this ultra right wing maga group that is by the way in some analyses the reason why there wasn t a red wave because there were too many far right candidates as opposed
a sudden district 15, that was democratic, was redrawn by the republicans and the texas state house, and named republican. they were designed to win. that, in a nutshell, says it all. latinos came out, we were gonna see when the dust settles, and i m waiting for these headlines in the new york times that say the latino vote is the one that won nevada, arizona, pennsylvania, it s gonna help georgia get this, it even helps districts and southern texas and in north carolina. and we can have a different conversation on that, but it s not a surprise. as you say, it was a bit of a flop in places like texas. flores, the republican who was me supposed to be the gop s answer to aoc lost. she barely lasted a few months in congress, while aoc has been reelected twice now, i think? tim, as this one the gop fever breaks? that s a question everyone wants to know the answer to. this is that when the republican party turns on trump? do i don t buy it. i don t think there s gonna be
going to do really well. so is this going to break the trump fever? i mean, i say it i guess incredulously a bit, but we keep hearing oh, this will be it, this will be it. here we are losses after losses after losses handed to your party. will that be enough? so here s my theory on the case, is that there is not going to be one discrete moment at which the fever breaks and donald trump becomes irrelevant. that s not likely to happen. what i think is his influence wanes and a debacle like we had across the country tuesday night from a republican point of view accelerates the pace at which that influence wanes. you know, there s some interesting data points already. a year or two ago if you asked republican voters do they consider themselves more traditional republicans or donald trump republicans, he had a huge lead. that has flipped. and that s telling, i think. and i think that s going to
of wyoming. sadly, the big lie and the big liars are still the sentiment within donald trump s republican party. liz cheney s had the courage to speak out to, tell the truth, we are dissent audacity to tell the truth, and there s just no place for that in donald trump s gop. a sad result. we certainly hoped that at some point the fever breaks, but the fever is not broken. donald trump still has an iron grip of in the republican party. congressman schiff, surely you understand if liz cheney begins to speak with a concession speech, we will go to her. if your committee s business should continue next year into the next congress, you now know that liz cheney will not be a member of that committee. what would that mean to the committee? well, her loss will be very considerable. it is our goal to finish our work the session. we intend to have more hearings in the fall, we intend to
