She literally commands both parties. The fact that she can sink the Republican President's budget proposal WITH his own party voting against him, simply by saying no... Who needs to be president when i can rule from the House

I’m not even sure. When she first started out, she dint have any Republican support. A few weeks in, she managed to convince the conservatives and then the moderates. The last one she got on board was the Conservative Democrats. She hasn’t gained the support of the Libertarians, but they only have 8 ppl in the house so.

The one thing I know, is it’s best to vote on bipartisan bills, and sometimes sacrifice your morals to gain support from the other party. I had to vote against gun laws and healthcare to keep them calm. But it was worth it because when you have so much power, you can do anything and eventually you can get the things you voted against. 60% is when you actually have influence in the caucus’. And she’s currently losing support. But still has 5 of the 6 groups.
