I suspect the Dems will vote with Gatez.

I doubt it. McCarthy gives the Democrats what they want.

I believe the Democrats will vote to keep McCarthy. Not all of them. Only the needed number will be whipped to do so.

“ Can Trump become Speaker?”

Sure.

All he needs are 218 votes.

He doesn’t have 5

McCarthy may win the battle, but lose the war. He will need the RATS to support him and that will turn many conservatives against him.

Who has the votes to become Speaker? Tom Emmer?

I certainly hope so.

Matt has changed. He is going the way of DeSantis 2.0

I don’t believe my eyes.

I, and many others, predicted the Fall of DeSantis.

Lest anyone forget, Matt Gaetz fought hard for his preferred GOP nominee in 2016 - Jeb Bush!"

So let me get this straight, Matt Gaetz (a Floridian) fought hard for another (Floridian- Ex-Governor) as his preferred GOP nominee in 2016.

As a former New Yorker (left in 1977-78) living in the People's Republic Of Washington ever since, who supported a former New Yorker TRUMP-2016 (Go-TRUMP-2024) I'm shocked, I tell ya, just shocked as all get out. Rolling my eye's, hand to face slap, shaking my head in disbelief.

I hope the vote for a New Speaker goes on for years.
