I say, select more MAGAts from the House to make Mike scramble. There has to be more than just Marjie who wants a bigger role in the Admin! Go for it! It will be months before Special Elections for House seats are scheduled.With a final margin of control yet to be determined, party leaders warn any more picks from the House could backfire. House Republican leaders on Tuesday suggested President-elect Donald Trump not look to their ranks for any more picks for his White House Cabinet, acknowledging their cushion for votes will be narrow.
Hes already pulled a few really talented people out of the House. Hopefully, no more for a little while until special elections can come, said House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) at a Capitol Hill press conference.
Republicans are likely, though not guaranteed, to hold on to control of the House after last weeks elections in which all House members were on the ballot. In a full 435-member House, 218 is a majority. Going into the election, Republicans held 220 seats, meaning they could lose two members of their side and still win floor votes in a full House where everyone votes according to their party.

you'd have to be a self-destructive loon to accept a Trump post.
