Mr. tough guy RINO

[butlerweave]

Shows he’ll be a Useless Speaker

[Sequoyah101]

Limp dish rag of a dolt isn’t he?

Some leader.

Jettison him while there is still time. “His turn” has nothing to do with it. Raising money has nothing to do with it.

[cuban leaf]

He’s gaslighting.

[Night Hides Not]

Should be done, Trump endorsed McCarthy. Did Trump change his mind?

Kevin McCarthy needs to stop being gullible. Biden knows what's going on at the border. He and his team are flying and positioning illegals around the country.

Biden knows little five year old girls are being trafficked... He knows 'the aunt' (at the same address) who takes in hundreds of these children is a fake. He and his intelligence thugs are probably benefiting.

So Kevin McCarthy stop being a fool. They think you fell off the turnip truck last week and that's how Biden's treading you. PROVE THEM WRONG KEVIN IF YOU WANT OUR SUPPORT. Oh, and don't get on their team 'for the sake of the country'. Democrat leaders NEVER get on 'our team' for the sake of.. the country.

And if Biden's goons ask about our lack of support for the railroad problem? Tell them you haven't been to a rail yard. See if they believe the kind of crap they put out.

Hmmm ... McCarthy talks tough with his own Party members, but he has earned his reputation as a milquetoast when it comes to challenging our Republic’s sworn enemies; that is, the Democrat/Communist members of Congress.

[small farm girl]

Just put DJT in and be done with it!

[IYAS9YAS]

Or what?

[Paladin2]

Has Kevin renounced PRyno?

[Mouton]

Ryan, McCarthy, McConnell….I think we need a paddy wagon to haul them away.

Hi all,

I think that saying that a Democrat might win the speakership is purely a scare tactic.

From what I am reading, the speaker must win a simple majority of total votes cast, so 218 if all vote. If the dissenting Republicans vote for anyone other than McCarthy there is no way McCarthy can reach majority unless democrats vote for him. Representatives can vote for anyone. They are not limited to choosing between the nominees.

As long as Republicans don’t vote for the Democrat nominee, the Democrat can’t reach majority either. As much as I detest the Rinos, I don’t think they would vote for a democrat.

Even though the dissenting Republicans won’t have enough votes to elect anyone else, they can spoil the speaker election indefinitely.

The worst that would happen if the dissenters stand firm is that there will be no speaker for an indefinite period of time.

Would the Democrats cross over and vote for McCarthy? If so McCarthy still wins speakership, but he wins it having to live with being elected by his opposition.

The outcome wouldn’t change, but at least we would have had some Republicans demonstrate that they actually have backbones.

Best case is that the opposition in the Republican party holds or even grows and they stall the process so long that McCarthy has to withdraw.

What happens after that is anybody’s guess.

I would appreciate it if somebody with more knowledge of the process could jump in here to let me know if this is actually the case.

Love,
O2

Sounds like a threat, not a warning.

[RoseofTexas]

This POS should get the hint: We don’t like you, we don’t want you as our majority leader, and you’re backstabbing spineless POS! The base have had enough of those McCarthy types! He’s no different than a rat! Let the nuke explode in the chamber …we’ll take our chances! He needs to go! VOTE HIM OUT!

The Uniparty wants Liz and its possible they might get it.
There is a reason why she seemed to torpedo her political future.
