South Carolina GOP Rep. Nancy Mace slammed her party's House leadership Monday in an opinion piece for the New York Times, where she claimed that former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was a "more effective" leader than Republicans.
Mace is the latest female Republican lawmaker to blast House leadership and the Trump administration, after Georgia firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene broke from her party to criticize its leadership in recent months.
"I came to Congress five years ago believing I could make a difference for my constituents, for South Carolina and for a country I love deeply," Mace wrote in her piece. "But I’ve learned that the system in the House

Yes, but Why?? Why are Republicans in office so inert (when not investigating each other)?

You can't hit the lady for telling the truth. The republicans havent had a spine since the Newt days, and it was only due to him that they got one. But expect the knives to come out any second.

Of course she's right. Too many republicans, (dare I say most?,) are loyal members of the uni-party - what I call republicrats. They talk tough on TV as they pontificate on "what's good for America," but are careful not to rile up the democrats, whom they expect to retake the leadership sooner or later. I guess it's the "Rodney King Wing." They know not and care not for their constituents.

Johnson has a slim majority to work with, and a number of RINOs like Don Bacon make up a little more than that margin of majority.
This isn’t difficult to see.

Is this woman part of the problem or part of the solution?

Re #4, that's true enough, but Johnson and the House Republican majority won't even pick the low-hanging fruit. Exhibit A: The House Ethics Committee's dumbfounding refusal to investigate well-documented allegations that Representative Omar married her brother to facilitate immigration fraud.

To be effective implies one has a direction. What direction do the Republicans have? Any Republican that tries to provide direction gets quashed by other Republicans as well as Democrats and the media. Agree with Mace and people are already squashing her. It's easy to see why Democrats are in charge even when they are in the minority. They have a direction, and they have a plan. Most people disagree with it, but at least they have something. What do the Republicans have? They have Trump who has opponents working against him 24x7x365. Why? Because he offers a direction other than the Democrats.

Mace has a personal axe to grind. She complains:. "Women will never be taken seriously until leadership decides to take us seriously, and I’m no longer holding my breath."
If that's her raison d’être, it's no wonder she doesn't get here assumed 'respect'

One thing that Pelosi had that Johnson doesn't was hard core ideologs in her caucus. Johnson not only has a slim majority but too many in the Republican caucus are Rinos, or in effect Democrats. Yes, as others have said there has been low hanging fruit, but I'm not sure that even that could have been passed with the Rinos in the caucus.

It's disheartening - - and very frustrating - - to realize that Pubbies will be Pubbies - - no matter how dreadful their decisions are. There hasn't been a time in the last 60 years - - when Pubbies have never ceased to disappoint.
The two greatest presidents in our lifetimes - - Reagan and Trump - - have been despised by RINO Pubbies - - who did everything they could to block their programs.
Pfoooey! Pubbies are the worst!

Give the devil her due, Nancy Pelosi was a very skilled political operative and took advantage of every opportunity at her disposal.
But the lesson of my high school history teacher over 50 years ago still rings true. Never underestimate the stupidity of the national Republican party.

Republicans do not initiate or act. Republicans only control Congress because Trump worked 365/24/7 going around the country to get enough of them elected. Trump does not run the Congress, Democrats apparently do that, even with the Republican majority. Republicans write polite letters, requests for appearances, no subpoenas, hearings postponed until Republicans are out of the majority, endless procedure. It was not very impressive to take August recess, then come back for 50 days of government shutdown, meaning 3 months of getting zero accomplished. The Republicans knew they would be in the majority after the 2024 elections, but made no plans, did nothing, are doing nothing, plan to do nothing. We need to buy Republicans a watch, so they will be aware their time is expiring rapidly.

Watches are expensive #13. We should go out to the driveway and pick up a coupla rocks to send, since apparently, they got no stones of their own.

Leadership is easy when your entire party votes in lock step and the entire government is run by your party.

Verbal's are useless. How about telling ALL OF US who is on the Take in both parties, then when the dust settles you might be more helpful!

Multiple factors here.
1. Dems typically do as their leadership tells them to do. Republicans have "mavericks".
2. Dems threw away the rule book years ago. Republicans have it memorized.
3. Dems don't care what you think of them. Republicans curl up into the fetal position when called an ist.
4. The MSM ran cover for the Dems for years, and to a large extent, they sill do.
