INSIDERS: Kevin McCarthy Does Not Have the Votes for House Speaker
The Gateway Pundit ^ | December 26, 2022 | Joe Hoft

Posted on 11/26/2022 9:38:01 AM PST by Macho MAGA Man

Kevin McCarthy currently does not have enough votes for Speaker.

This is a very good thing.

While Biden, Pelosi and Schumer are destroying the country like never before Kevin McCarthy is way too weak to stand up against this destruction of the USA. This is because McCarthy has never shown strength. He’s Paul Ryan’s puppet in the House.

Yesterday Congressman Bob Good from Virginia reported that after two years Kevin McCarthy there is no indication that McCarthy will suddenly stand up against the Biden regime.

Good shared:

Tell me on what basis Steve, if you were looking at the 220 members of Congress based on their merits, their skills, their qualities, their leadership demonstration that you would settle on Kevin McCarthy at the expense of the other 219 or so Republicans.

We need someone who represents the conservative center of the conference. We need someone who will truly stand up and fight with nerves of steel. We need someone who will hold every Republican accountable to fight againts the Schumer – Biden agenda.

We didn’t have that in the minority. There’s no way we’re going to have that in the majority [if it’s McCarthy]. And there are more than enough of us who are resolved not to vote for him that we need to get past a denial of the reality that he’s going to be Speaker.

Oh I do worry about someone worse than “Young Gun” McCarthy becoming speaker. I’m just saying she’s made quite the u-turn. Hopefully it’s not for the money and/or getting tired of the fight.

Oh and gfy

Pretty clear some folks here would rather see Pelosi or a Democrat as Speaker.

That’s what happened in the Texas House. For about three terms the Speaker was the most liberal Republican who got the support of a handful of Republicans and all the Democrats to get a majority. And the rest of the Republicans said they wanted a more conservative Speaker.

Funny how we are always expected to vote for the establishment republicans and to take one for the team. The establishment is never told that they must support the conservative candidate and that they must think of the big picture. The one way street has to end somewhere.

First, I'd point out that the vast majority of Republicans supported Trump in the general elections in both 2016 and 2020 even though he didn't win a majority of primary votes in 2016. So assuming you define Trump as "conservative", there's your two-way street I'd rather have the Speaker be from the Freedom Caucus too, but the fact is that the Freedom Caucus doesn't have majority of GOP votes within the caucus. You rally around the guy who got the most votes, not the guy who was second or third.

Not really, they just don’t understand how corrupt the whole process is.

He’ll cut a deal with Dems for some cross over votes and then sell out the country some more.

McCarthy is a fake conservative and a lover of BIG govt. We need someone that actually understands MAGA, it’s not McCarthy.

He’ll get the votes. The holdouts are waiting to see what kind of deals he can make in exchange for their votes.

Fair enough. But how do you get there?

There's at least 25 RINOs in the Republican caucus -- likely more -- who aren't onboard with MAGA. There are 213 Democrats. You need 218 to win the Speakership.

The math just ain't there...

Bullcrap. The GOP leadership opposed Trump and fought him tooth and nail. They did so before and after the election.
Bush and everyone associated with him treated him lie garbage every step of the way.
They NEVER supported him. And that was evident also in the 2020 election steal.

It is a one way street.

First, I was talking about GOP voters, the vast majority of whom did rally around Trump even though he wasn't their preference in the primary.

But you're wrong about the leadership as well when it came to getting him election. Most elected Republicans did support Trump for election in 2016, and for re-election in 2020. Zero Republican representatives voted for impeachment in 2019, and Romney was the only Senator who voted to convict.

McCarthy is way too weak...He’s Paul Ryan’s puppet in the House.

And Paul RINO is way too weak to be a "puppetmaster".

Nancy Pelosi said today that after praying the rosary she’s determined God wants her to be speaker of the house again.

There are two big lies in that statement.

There’s a civil war going on inside the R party, as there should be, as there needs to be. We need to win and cleanse the party of the corrupted, and those that think and vote like our enemies.

Fight the good fight and have faith.

Conservatives can’t agree on anything it seems. You’d think the congresscritters could have figured all of this out by now.

No, one would not think congesscritters could figure it out by now. Conreesscritters, from the moment they arrive are only interested in lining their pockets with filfty lucre and increasing their power. Increasing their power enables them to get more dirty money.

Six RINOs and all Democrats could make Liz Cheney Speaker. Be afraid.

Let them do it. Let's have the treachery out in the open. Then the unspoken option could come in to play.
