(3,495 posts)21. This is a threat
So far Republicans have caved to every threat.
Is it different with the Epstein files?
Will Massie himself hold up?
The threat is likely sufficient to keep the additional 2 he needs from siding with Massie.
Usually they allow a few dissdents as long as it's not enough to pass a vote. Anyone who has real power to pass a bill (like the additional 2 Rs they need) will be threatened with more than a primary.
I got my hopes up that Rs in the House would go for this en mass. But when it's down to a 2-3 critical votes, the risk is too high. I hope I'm wrong. This is our chance if there ever is one.
