"Why, I would've certainly caved by now. I don't understand what's going on. Republicans ALWAYS cave!"
We don’t want your pussy RINO ass McCarthy.
But it’s his turn. Eddie Munster promised him.
If not McCarthy then who?
This seems like a stalemate.
I’ve heard some others such as Jim Jordan simply aren’t interested in being Speaker.
The GOP has to be almost unanimous in the Speaker vote, as the margin of majority is only 5 votes.
“...five Republican lawmakers who oppose McCarthy becoming House speaker still are not budging...”
Only five?
Those five are holding out for under-the-table perks.
McCarthy cannot afford to seek support from Dems, as that would compromise him even worse.
Once he meets the demands of the holdouts, he will get their votes and get his speakership.
It’s politics.
All McCarthy has to do is allow the conservatives to HOLD HIM TO HIS WORD. Considering that he won’t permit that, it seems to be that the conservatives have him figured out.
Okay, okay…..I’ll settle this.
I’ll be Speaker….
Why not Frank Luntz? Oh, wait, his roommate is already running.
Hey McCarthy the door is over there , use it
Hey Ronna, loose the fake eyelashes and quit blinking multiple times per second.
