Are you saying McCarthy is McConnell? Maybe McConnell minus 70 IQ points.

Matt Gaetz is right. McCarthy stands for nothing except staying in power. He cannot be the next speaker of the house. We need somebody with a philosophy of governing and somebody who will do what they say. Any of Scalise, Johnson, Biggs, Roy would be way better.

… I’d rather have chaos than more of the same.…

More America Rescue Crap and Inflation Redoubling Act.

I concur. Everyone says we need to start fighting, then when a few do, everyone gets their shorts in a twist.

<>In order to win you only need a majority of the votes cast<>

That has always been my understanding.

We could end up with Nanzi again.

Jim Jordan says he doesn’t want it now.

If the Snowball keeps rolling, more Republicans ŵill start to come out against McCarthy if it becomes obvious that McCarthy doesn’t have the votes to win.

If there was a secret ballot, McCarthy will be history.

Every party leader is a great fundraiser. It’s the position they hold, not the person, that makes them a big fundraiser.

Dump McCarthy, and the next Speaker will swamp McCarthy fundraising numbers.

McCarthy intentionally withheld money from conservative nominees; Joe Kent in Washington District 3.

From Twitter:

NEW: Just caught up w @GOPLeader Kevin McCarthy in the Capitol.

He said he's feeling "actually really good" as he entered the speaker of the House suite on the second floor of the Capitol.

I asked him if he'd set motion to vacate at one, and he smiled and walked in the office

A leader with a vision for the future is needed.
A leader who can focus on a few, clearly good,well communicated plans for the future is needed

Sounds like you are talking about Kari Lake.

No, the thing is, will the next 2 years of Democrat destruction of America’s economy and freedoms be a bipartisan effort?

I hope not.

Looks like the Rats may have a say in who becomes Speaker.

I hope I’m wrong.

Let the democrats destroy the country.

The survivors can fix all these stupid issues in the successor state.
