The threats and bullying from the swamp establishment should seal it for McCarthy being given the middle finger. That’s exactly the politics the people hate.
I don’t understand why everyone is so gung ho on Jim Jordan, if Jim Jordan is all in for McCarthy. To me, that says a lot.

No
There have been 14 instances of Speaker elections requiring multiple ballots (the records for the 2nd Congress, 1791–1793, are inconclusive, and the House has filled vacancies in the Speakership three times using a resolution). Thirteen of 14 multiple-ballot elections occurred before the Civil War, when party divisions were more nebulous. The last time a Speaker election required two or more votes on the floor happened in 1923.

Yes. That’s what I’d posted, as #1.
When was the last time a Speaker was NOT elected, by the end of round 3?
Exactly what I just told my (now confirmed) swamp Rep….who voted for McSwampy. 😡
I’m glad she is better, will continue to pray for her complete recovery.
I never could find the source where McCarthy said he would resign. Do you know where it was?
Hmm, thanks for the info.
FBN reports that House may adjourn after gaveling in, to possibly give McCarthy more time.
GMTA! I just posted that.
sorry I must have read this wrong. I didn’t see “not elected”
“First time, EVER, a Speaker candidate lost THREE rounds.”
Sorry, I can’t remember who said it but it was on twitter.
Bannon has repeated it so he heard it too.

Talk about cyberbullying!
@AdamSchiff used his power as head of House Intel to muscle Twitter into banning a journalist—muzzling the reporter who outed his impeachment “whistleblower” as an anti-Trump partisan Democrat, exposing Schiff’s impeachment proceeding as a political ops
Rep. Norman (SC) said on WR that McCarthy doesn’t have the votes to convene.
They are nominating again.
Did you see Shaq freeze up….twice?? On LIVE tv.
Freaky.

Nobody ever said draining the swamp would be painless or quick
But it’s vitally necessary if we want to actually save the American People from a corrupt DC regime
Strap in
