The man that delivered THE SPEECH.

Mark Robinson, Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina.

The man does not back up one inch!

Yes, yours is one of the best answers so far. I only come here occasionally. I really thought there’d be more responses like yours.
I can’t believe all the wussy suggestions like McCarthy or Scalise I’m seeing on here.
Too damn many “conservatives” are anxious to raise the white flag. Folks, we don’t need more of the same.

Rodney Davis could be the son of a B.

Speaker Hastert wanted to unity behind him. Hastert appointed Schimkus to collect dirt on other congresscritters. Schimkus hired Rodney Davis to do it. Davis found skeletons.

In 1992 Michel said GOP would never get a majority in Congress. So IL Repblicans should support Al the Pal Democrat. Incensed Talk radio voters voted for Democrat seat warmer Braun in the primary. 6 yrs later for Fitzgerald.

Also remember. This original story is from the Washington Post. If they can’t have Nancy or another Democrat as Speaker, they want McCarthy.

Jordan. Scalise has an F on conservative voting. Jordan has an A.

That’s exactly what needs to be done. We need to crush our enemies, see them driven before us, and hear the lamentations of their women.

>>He would need 5 GOP lawmakers to crossover. Good freakin; luck witnessing that mass political suicide move.

Never underestimate the Cheney wing of the GOP.

Alfred E. Newman is the only logical choice due to the perpetual status quo of the voting public (Don't give me this fraud crap, both Parties are corrupt as hell and just don't care about anything but their bank accounts).

Marjorie Taylor Greene is getting committees now and supports Kevin.

What Cheney wing? The only people who managed to win reelection and voted for Trump’s impeachment were Valadao and Newhouse, and it wasn’t like either was a vocal pro-Jan. 6 committee GOP’er either.

The rest (Cheney and Kinzinger) ain’t returning and Valadao and New House haven’t indicated plans to vote for Cheney or Jeffries.

The upcoming, long-overdue death of the GOP has nothing to do with fraud - although one of the CAUSES of death is weakness so profound that fraud goes on without complaint.

The GOP is dying because all the things it stands for and will fight for are opposed to the interests of the American nation and further the interests of the “donor community”, as life in core American cities and towns grows worse and worse.

On the happy day that the GOP finally expires, a real right wing opposition can begin to organize.

All these idiotic suggestions about Trump, MTG, Gohmert, Newt, even Jordan overlook the fact that there aren’t 30 votes for any of them, and that Jeffries only needs 4 Republican votes to be the next Speaker.

Once the “constitutional crisis” propaganda starts and the accusations of “racism” start for why four Republicans won’t vote for Jeffries, they will fold like a cheap suit.

How many votes do you imagine Jordan could get?

He’s starting with 30 - maybe. Jeffries is starting with 214.
