¡Si, Sr!
McCarthy-Luntz has said if he doesn’t get his “earned” Speakership he will leave politics.
He’s also, supposedly, moved some of his items into the Speaker’s office, already.

A few democrats will eventually cross the aisle and vote for him, if only to get the gravy train going again.

I want Jordan doing those investigations. I want Jordan to preside over all three impeachment hearings. I think he’d be bored, stiff being speaker.

Good for you. That is a good start.
It will be a cold day in Hell before Gray Beaver votes in the direction of a single thing I believe in.

Trump is going to be pissed. Who cares? This is none of his business, other than as an ordinary American citizen.

I believe President Trump endorsed McCarthy-not sure what to make of this?
Then again, IMO, the entire government is criminal, so, in the words of her Heinousness "At this point, what difference does it make?"
However, the objections to McCarthy are understandable.
I pray it will be resolved with the right person chosen. 🙏

There is absolutely no difference between McCarthy and Jeffries. They will both promote and advance the very same Globalist agenda. So even if McCarthy wins, the Dems still control the narrative and agenda and the GOP controls nothing even though they are the majority. McCarthy will just hand the Dems what they want anyhow. Majority means absolutely nothing at this point without a more loyal house leader.

"Watch the stupid party snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory." You think electing McCarthy is "victory"? Honestly, I saw little chance for the GOP to come out victorious today. Go ten rounds of voting. Maybe it will make McCarthy a bit more humble. Probably not.

I think the best outcome is to not seat a speaker in this congress.

Honestly this isn’t nearly the drama the media wants you to believe it is... no, its not even historic.. yes been a while since multiple votes are needed, but unless you get to taking more than 133 votes to get a speaker, you aren’t in history making territory.
If McCarthy is worthy of the position he seeks then he should be able to get 15 more votes... if he can’t that speaks, frankly, to the fact he probably shouldn’t have the position.
To: rktman
He already lost round 2 79 votes in.
McCarthy was caught on Camera laughing after 1st vote.

Sadly, old fossils are eventually replaced by new fossils.

"There is a reason McCarthy doesn’t have the votes, if you constantly complain about Republicans never doing anything then if you support electing the same people over and over again especially to leadership then that is insane."
Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!
