'He Is Nowhere Near 218': A Scenario Is Emerging That Ends With Kevin McCarthy Not Being Elected Speaker of the House by the GOP

[Chauncey Gardiner]

He somewhat put himself in this position by not supporting conservative candidates in the midterms. Could have had a few more votes had he done so. Clone of McConnell.

[joma89]

Status quo will prevail...it always does.

[Jim Noble]

How many GOP Members would vote for Pelosi before voting for “freedom caucus” Member?

Only takes two.

Be careful what you wish for.

[ScottinVA]

Actually it’ll be more like 222, once those three races in CA and Boebert’s finish in CO are finalized.

[KingLudd]

” ... if the GOP F—ks this up, then i’m done ... “

You should have been done with them 25 years ago. I’m series.

[Paladin2]

Redistricting.

Lack of ballot harvesting skillz.

[af_vet_1981]

If he does, it is the fault of Freedom Caucus member Andy Biggs (R-AZ), who it seems already misses Nancy Pelosi as third in line for the Presidency. This is the same type of idiocy that showed itself in 2017 and interfered with the 2017 agenda.

[Ann Archy]

You all better be careful that a DEMOCRAT is NOT elected to Speaker!!!

[Ann Archy]

Yeah....women ONLY want to KILL THEIR BABIES!!! KILL MORE BABIES!! WE VOTE TO KILL MORE BABIES!!

DEMONIC! SATANIC!!

[xzins]

They can easily get votes from democrats. A one or two vote margin in virtually meaningless unless they stick together. And more than half are moderates.

[MayflowerMadam]

“Kevin McCarthy, who is backed by former president Donald Trump and the recently reelected Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene “

Disturbing. Like McConnell, McCarthy appears to be compromised by FTX.

[MayflowerMadam]

Dobbs?

[MayflowerMadam]

I think that Biggs and Gohmert can be on that list, too. MTG used to be, but she’s gone squishy and is strongly supporting McCarthy. She cut a deal.

[central_va]

Elections are rigged now with mail in ballots being harvested in densely populated Democrat areas..

[central_va]

Oh stop it.

[mewzilla]

As long as Deep State controls Congress, it doesn’t matter a damn who the the heck the leadership is, does it.

[Sicon]

"Basically, cave to everything the Democrats want."

Yeah, that's where I'm putting my money.

[Ann Archy]

Women who vote for DEMONIC DEMOCRATS do that so that MORE BABIES WILL BE KILLED BY THEIR OWN MOTHERS!

[WoofDog123]

I suspect actual nationwide performance tracked trends in florida. if every state had their voting process and laws, it would reflect that.

[Hot Tabasco]

Remember, in order to gain the Speakership, one only needs a majority of the votes cast.

Needs to be repeated......
