It’ll end up being McCarthy whether you like it or not. You’re not going to get 218 votes for anyone else.
I wouldn’t be surprised if 19 Dems vote for him.
Don’t EVER bitch about how the HOR GOP is doing nothing......
“I wouldn’t be surprised if 19 Dems vote for him.”
I can’t think of 1 who would cross over, but in politics, sometimes the unexpected happens. The demokkrap leadership will hold them all together is my bet. It is more likely that RINOs would cross to demonkkraps first. But for your scenario, KM would have to cut some deals with them. If so, the fact he would do that versus cut deals in his own caucus tell you that the rebellious faction is right about not trusting him as the right person for the job.
