McCarthy is the closest one to 218. Who else can get that.? Andy Biggs got 30 there’s not one person that can get 218. so McCarthy is going to be the next speaker. Do I like it? No. He’s from California for one thing. But reality will win unfortunately.
Well, McCarthy can be denied 218 if the Republicans are stupid enough - but one of two things will happen as a result.
1) Democrats will be ordered to make up the deficit. They would be very happy for McCarthy to be Speaker, in fact, a disorganized and ineffective opposition to be swept away in 2024 would be better for them in some ways than an elected Speaker of their own. They have 214 votes available for this.
Either way - there are three and only three people who can become Speaker. Kevin McCarthy, Nancy Pelosi, or Hakeem Jeffries.
2) Democrats will peel off 4 RINOs and elect Hakeem Jeffries or Nancy Pelosi as Speaker. This would not necessarily be in their best interest, but it would allow them to continue the January 6 committee as is, which they seem to think is very important.
“He’s from California for one thing.”
That is what you’re worried about. There are more republicans in Los Angeles (almost 2,000,000) than in some states. The problem is not location, he is a gutless coward and will not stop voter fraud, corrupt DOJ, punish coup attempters, fight the Dems on their level, anything he will do is for show. He will sit back and laugh as the country is being destroy.
And the fact that the majority of Republicans go along with this just proves how worthless the Republican party is.
McCarthy is a deep-state back-stabbing weasel who will be Paul Ryan/John Boehnor/Mitch McConnell like in his efforts to thwart and defeat legitimate conservative efforts to reform and protect our government.
NEVER TRUST THIS GUY!!!!!
Yup
Andy Biggs is useless
