These grifters are in it for themselves and you're all cheering them on.

McTurtle and McCarthy are shameless grifters as well, but that's OK because they're YOUR grifters.

If McCarthy can’t secure enough votes from his own party via negotiation, how does anyone think he would be a good negotiator with Democrats?

Three separate votes with a failure to clinch. Yet he refuses to step aside. This is what I despise about politicians from the right and the left.

Does this not mean that if McCarthy were a Dem shill, that the Dem side of the House would have voted him in in a landslide?

Not a landslide.

Right now, the Democratic half of the "donor community" is looking for five Republicans who will vote for a Democrat. This will go on for a while.

If they fail, leader Jeffries will allow however many votes McCarthy is short +1 to vote for him.

He still has 202 votes. It aint like it’s 148 to 70. I will not be surprised when this is over to learn that the so called base resisters, all 20 of them, were more interested in getting the committee assgts they wanted than any real concern for the party’s base.

They’re ALL grifters! So let’s at least elect one of the grifters and get on with it!

They all suck. What’s funny is that both parties have swindled most of John Q Public into thinking it matters or that they’re accountable. They aren’t and they don’t care. Both sides. Beware the Ides of March.

“McTurtle and McCarthy are shameless grifters as well, but that’s OK because they’re YOUR grifters.”

Trump endorsed McCarthy.

Unfortunately, he is not an honorable man.

Well, if an "honorable man" is what I was searching for, the U.S. House of Representatives would be just about the last place I'd look.

People who think that their "elected representatives," of any stripe, are going to save them are fools, plain and simple. Vote harder, dummies.

We’d better wrap this up soon.

Yup and pretty soon.

The MSM is already on this.

I don’t have to agree with Trump on everything.

It doesn’t sound like the grifters as the country club trash calls their opponents or your leftist establishment trash are worth the efforts of any conservatives anymore, if this isn’t just establishment BS hysteria.

“If he had any character,”

Ask congresswoman Renee Elmers of NC, Trump supporter, whose affair with McCarthy cost her her seat.

Good. It’s time the real conservatives stood for something. No more RINOs, snowflakes , or spineless weasels.

Partner, we have too many of these spineless and gutless weasels folks and we need to make a stand against these folks.
