Our Founders would be proud of these people who favor principle over party.

Anyone who doubts that McCarthy has been courting Democrat votes as a fallback if Republicans don't fall in line are too stupid to breath.

If he gets a single Democrat vote during the vote count and I was a Congressman I would not cast a vote for him.

Paul Ryan and Trump, two opposite sides of the Banana Republican party,endorsing McCarthy, wasn’t a slam dunk for 1st round of voting..
Maybe McCarthy is the most surprised at that.

Can’t ‘blame Trump’
:)
Oh. I bet some would like to give it a go,though..

I don’t think anyone in Congress is worried about losing yours, or anyone elses , vote at this point.

“And that’s why McCarthy should not be speaker.”

Napoléon Bonaparte said, “Gentlemen. If you’re going to take Vienna, take it.” If you start something, be prepared to finish it.

So...who do they want to have become speaker, and what is their path to get there?

In other news, the 19 ‘opposition’ members were seen standing by themselves praying, saying ‘thank you God that we are not like other Republicans’.

I think the Trump “endorsement” and comments were 4d chess, tackling-rules. Vast numbers of RINO class creeps did a double-take, NPR announcers passed gas, and real republican reps out there chuckled.

Hooefully checkbooks slammed closed as well. The ruling class doesn’t know what to do.
