'He Is Nowhere Near 218': A Scenario Is Emerging That Ends With Kevin McCarthy Not Being Elected Speaker of the House by the GOP

Pelosi is currently second in line.

The rest sit around and collect their $200,000 salaries.

And perks.

Don't forget the several $millions in perks they get.

[Roccus]

Already done...last week.

Only 219 seats for the GOP in the House? That’s a fairly dismal performance even if you exclude the high expectations.

Well, they were running against a stacked deck.

They do not actually need to impeach Biden. If the testimony regarding Hunter Biden and Biden's brother implicates Joe, then the RATS have to decide whether to keep Biden or dump him. If the money laundering and selling his position as VP are egregious enough that people across the Country call for his head, his time may be up. Schumer may walk over to the White House and tell Joe to resign because he will not survive impeachment. That's how Nixon was done in.

On the flip side Harris as VP and nominee would be a God send to the GOP, but the RATS will never let that happen. You will be looking at fresh blood like Whitmer, Newsome, Northam or Roy Cooper.

Before you dismiss those RATS keep in mind Whitmer and Newsome (as it stands today) would carry California, Michgan, Pennsylvania, New York, Colorado, Oregon and Washington State with out even campaigning. Throw in ballot harvesting and that disaster Newsome could be the RATS next President. Whitmer and Newsome have a lot of baggage, Northam or Copper are relative unknowns who would still carry the above listed States. As nominally Southerners, they could put a lot of pressure on the GOP in GA, VA and NC. Unless we learn to ballot harvests as well as the RATS in the next two years, we are in for a fight even with Trump as a candidate.

Me personally I want Joe Biden to run for reelection. Tarnished, incoherent, unliked and a poor record, is what I prefer in a RAT candidate. However, what I believe the establishment politicians really want is a Desantis/Lake ticket versus Newsome/Whitmer. They see that as a win/win. The establishment believes it can control the winner from either ticket.

Demoncrats are acolytes of Molech and people that are not demon possessed that vote for democrats are blinded servants of Molech.

[1Old Pro]

McCarthy will cut a deal with the DemonRats. Only question is: what is the price to be paid?

I'd prefer he cut a deal with the Freedom caucus.

The Republicans are already at 219 according RCP and it isn't even counting Adam Frisch conceding to Lauran Boebert. Republicans lead in the two other races yet to be called:

I agree with that. I just don’t think he will.

[Bruce Campbells Chin]
