I’m wondering if Chaffets is the Plan B for the GOPe, since they know how disliked McCarthy - their chosen heir - is.

I’m thinking the same way or to divide the vote and get the GOP-E in as the Speaker.

DO NOT HAVE THE VOTES
TO MAINTAIN THEIR HOLD
ON POWER!

We can predict with certainty that all three outcomes will be sordid.

The conservatives did want the elections delayed. But that was before McCarthy messed up.
Don’t know who it benefits now.
At least it shows the Dem/RINOs are having to change their plans.

Who is the conservative willing to put his/her hat into the ring?

We need to coalesce around that person....on ALL social media, phone calls, faxes, forums, etc....and get the word out.

There is also widespread interest in considering a change in internal party rules that would force candidates to resign chairmanships and leadership slots to run for new office.

I definitely don't favor that. Though it would mean McCarthy would be out of Maj leader if he loses Speaker.

As for the delay, Bonehead must be worried about the outcome of those potential races.

He talked about that today on FNC. Apparently Meadows boot was from the Speaker, but after a closed door meeting with a bunch of others, he recended the boot, which probably really pissed Boner.

Chaffetz seems to be reasonable and mostly conservative, much more so that McCarthy, especially considering no one else has their hat in the ring. One big point in his favor is that nobama has tried to undermine him with the Secret Service thing.

I’m sure about Chaffetz because of the Meadows removal.
McCarthy would be just another Boehner targeting Conservatives.

I am hearing that Dan Webster is still in the running. Anyone think he has a chance? Maybe he can’t pull in enough support.
