If McCarthy isn’t voted Speaker of the House in January, he’ll go tell is butt buddy Frank Luntz how mean MAGA has been to him. Vote him down and flush out all of the treacherous RINOs. Let’s get them out in the open. The time for the unspoken option may be approaching.

You bet! Lives with Frank Luntz and took his mother to the state dinner.

His wife, Judy, lives in Bakersfield and is just for show.

The gop is in the moment of self-definition. While this is eventually going to get spit and blood on the walls, it is necessary to see if we surrender or stand up to collectivism.

We still have a few weeks. McCarthy at least campaigned for other repubics along with just a handful of others. MTG supports him, Jim Jordan supports him and, I hesitate to mention Trump, but he also supports him. McCarthy is simply warning that if repubics don't coalesce then theoretically a democrat could become speaker; democrats could end up being the ones choosing the speaker. Jesus...what a disaster that would be.

Who else is in the running? McCarthy said he's going to stop funding on Ukraine; he's on board with investigating Fauci among some other issues I heard him speak about. I also read that he stated that 'President' Trump didn't know who that Fuentes guy was which is a far cry from condemning him like the other ahole repubics.

So, with all the vitriol on here against him and apparently out of TGP as well, do we hang together or separately? Dems never, ever split. They are in lock step and I for one am damn sick and tired of it.

"says it will be a disaster if he's not voted Speaker"

Interesting choice of words.

Disaster for who?

Disaster for what?

His bank account?

🤔

That's how they win. They don't care about purity and things such as that. If they have a D next to their name, they get 100% support from the party in a general election - no matter what. Even if you are a brain-damaged buffoon from PA.

Too many Republicans sit home or waste their vote on a fringe party because their candidate was not perfect enough for them and they want to send a message.

Message received and the Dems are loving the results of it.

It’d be something if republicans turn down McCarthy and Jeffries gets it. Those New York and California house members may just vote with democrats. It wouldn’t shock me if the republicans screw this up.

Biggs was the other. He got 30 votes. He’s even worse off.

Yes, MTG explained this dynamic:

There is only a handful of MAGA house republicans, but the slim R majority can work in MAGA’s favor. MAGA’s best power play is controlling the swing vote - not trying to win the speakership.

If they let KM be speaker, the RINOs will save face and not have theiw feewings huwt - but everything they try to pass, they will need MAGA to put them over the top vs Democrats.

If they oust KM, it will be the opposite; everything MAGA tries to do, the RINOs have veto power - and now they will be out for blood. And since they are shallow, power-happy a-holes, they would rather let the Dems win than see MAGA win.

KM’s warning is basically - let us save face and we’ll work with you - embarrass us and we will work with the Dems.

It’s a numbers game and MAGA just doesn’t have the numbers yet to act cocky.

That would be hilarious and historic. And it would show how ridiculous the Republicans are.

The reason not Jim Jordan is, he doesn’t have the votes. Besides, I think he wants to be on the committee that investigates everything.

She’s right!
But the typical Republican battle for purity will likely ruin things. Purity not power is the battle cry!

Stop being realistic. Of course you are the only one, everybody else has this dreamland scenario. the country is center. I’d actually say center left, so in order to win, you have to appease the majority. We haven’t figured that out yet.

So basically it’s KM or no one else. How foolish is that. No Dem will ever go on the (R) side but (R)s will go on the Dem side. McCarthy is useless so if you like the same then go at it. He can make all the promises but he’s a Rino thru & thru. he won’t allow bills to come to the floor just like The Turtle. Is that what you want? You want a guy that last night apparently sat with Hunter Biden at Macron dinner? Look - put another speaker that is willing to go all in for “The People” and if that takes the Rinos over to the (D) side we have no different than last 2 yrs. If that’s what Rinos want so be it. How about standing tall for the Republic just once & quit now the fake facade that is all of corrupt D.C.
