I rode an elevator once with Gaetz when I did some work on the Hill. It was 11am on a Wednesday and I’ve never seen someone as hungover as he was. Enjoy the seeds you’ve sown, everyone.

Are you counting primary elections in that 93% number?

Leave it to Bannon to overreact. All it takes is an (R) to do something slightly based and he’s hailed as a leader by desperate suckers.

To which Hill are you referring?

Capitol Hill? Or that rag, the Shill?

It’s about whether the Republicans will be able to govern. These 5 will be making quite a statement if they stand their ground. They sure won’t like the epitaphs on their tombstones. It will probably say something like “one of five insignificant persons responsible for the death of the republican party and the end of conservatism.” Truth be told, the dems will never vacate the White House and Biden and his lot have won. Once upon a time I believed in the power of the Constitution.

Sorry but you’re going to get Jeffries. More radical than Pelosi. This will be a major win for the Squad.

I would be fine with that, if it’s true.

McCarthy has shown us over and over what he is and he will not change, so I would very much like to see someone with fight get the position of speaker.

On the other hand if it is not possible to get an honest truthful conservative as speaker, perhaps a way out is to let McCarthy have the job so long as he can be forced to follow orders from the true conservatives.

After all, this is the tactic that got Joe Biden in office and his handlers have been successful so far in managing him.

I would bet money that McCarthy has enough secrets in his background that he can be managed. I am a big believer in the face mirroring the true character.

McCarthy has demonstrated over and over that he is weak and easily manipulated. Perhaps the conservative members can use his weakness to our advantage, just as the handlers have done with Biden.

There has to be a reason Trump is endorsing him and that reason certainly can not be because he thinks McCarthy is the best person to be found.

Gaetz portrays the worst caricature of a televangelist. Not impressed. Glad he isn’t my congress critter.

The leftist GOP establishment wants their leftist in charge. Conservatives finally have the pull to make changes and play hard ball and the establishment goes bonkers even the FR GOP shills. Gatez is not going to be speaker but it would appear the California leftist McCarthy isn’t either. Time to compromise GOPE, you’re good at this with leftist, time to learn to work with your base and pick Jordan a known quantity. He’s acceptable to conservatives and you leftists establishment trash will live, promise.

Your post illustrates the ridiculousness of the obsession with Trump. He endorses candidates who are in strong R districts, and Trump gets credit. He endorses candidates in swing districts and they mostly lose, and he gets to throw up his hands and say “not my fault!” and his supporters absolve him of any guilt. It’s just amazing.
