    He’s not trying very hard. That’s the point. If he were trying hard he would be going on a punditry tour saying that Republicans are not playing ball on Ukraine and they had better start and why and that he is staking his position on it. That would be trying hard.

    And no, I am glad he is doing the bare minimum. I just wish he would do more than the bare minimum.

      I think he’s trying very hard. He has taken a position on it and spoke out against other republicans. Weird he’s done what you want him to do and you are still upset.

      It’s part of why mtg is trying to remove him.

      With your attitude, he should fall back to party lines and block the funding. If he can’t get support from the democrats then he needs to fall back in line.

          Look, Mike Johnson is an innocent hard working man who saw a large group of morally corrupt assholes who won’t do anything unless it makes the life of a woman, child or minority worse in some way and said “Hey, I’d like to be the head asshole of this group.” I think he deserves some respect.
