(with thanks to DUer MohRokTah for what we can only hope will become a Major Meme)]So what does the job of "Majority Whip" involve?
Simple, really.
You're the one who assures the Majority Leader that the votes are there to pass whatever piece of legislation your party caucus is bringing to the floor.
And the GOP, as we all know, have a solid majority in the U.S. House of Representatives.
So today, when they moved a GOP-supported bill to ease those bothersome Dodd-Frank restrictions on the high-level thievery of Wall Street to the floor for a vote, it should have sailed, right?
Wrong.

You had ONE job, Steve.
ONE.
WTG, dude. I'm sure your Vaterland is proud.

(12,041 posts)They know Scalise is a liability to them but they can't admit it. They know they depend on the votes of white supremacists and they would anger their base if they forced him to resign over his ties to white supremecists. I am wondering if they might purposely be making him an ineffective whip so they can get rid of him and claim they did so because of his ineffectiveness rather than his white supremecist ties.
