Well good then. I guess I'll just stay home on voting day & the I please both sides.
That makes sense. He was a congressman and knows the House. He’s worked in NY with GOPe people. He’s worked with suburban Dems like Bellone in Suffolk County. He also convinced 47% of NY voters to vote for him. They weren’t all MAGA Republicans.
I’m not saying I’m happy with KM as speaker - far from it. I’m not saying it’s is a good thing - this is obviously not what we wanted for 2022.
But we didn’t get the red wave. We barely squeaked out a R majority, much less a MAGA friendly majority. There is literally only a handful of MAGA house critters.
So we need to assess our situation, and MTG is the closest thing we have to a pure MAGA fighter in the House. She wouldn’t be saying this without good reason.
And it makes sense. She is saying the best way to leverage the MAGA lobby in the House is to control the swing vote - rather than fight over who has the title “Speaker”.
With such a thin majority, Speaker KM and his RINOs will not be able to score any victories without getting MAGA on board. And for these unprincipled RINOs, scoring victories is all they care about - they just want to feel important.
Every time speaker KM tries to pass something he will be begging MAGA to please get on board so he can score a win and not be embarrassed.
MAGA will have a seat at the table.
Many of these poster live in a fantasy world where conservatives should win everything and if they don’t, it must be because of voter fraud.
The reality is that the country is now center and heading center-left. Until we figure out how to win over more younger voters, we have to settle for what little we can get.
Charming. 🤮
Still wondering why Trump gave his endorsement to this guy for Speaker of the House? Is Trump anti-MAGA now?
Depending on your age, it’s probably a good idea.
Not better for us, but I believe you wouldn’t be able to tell th difference with McCarthy.
Eric Cantor…..
we are so fkd traitors inside the gates.
There’s a lot of Purity here on Free Republic.
If we had a bigger margin in Congress there might be some realistic alternative to McCarthy. But for now it’s either a McCarthy as Speaker or some Democrat. With that binary choice take your pick.
Andy Biggs of Arizona is running for the Speaker position.
