McCarthy has a 14 year record of kissing up to dimbutz, all in the interest of “bi-partisanship” doncha know. It will not surprise me in the least if a dozen or so dims vote for McCarthy as the best deal they can get. A few committee promises to dims, that he would not give to conservatives, could put him over the top? Watch who he talks to.
I’m thinking the RATs will wait for who the compromise candidate is going to be, before they act.
