“In the first two rounds, there were 19 Republicans who voted for Rep. Jordan over McCarthy.”

Jordon got six in the first round. Biggs 10.

McConnell’s budget moves after taking leadership doesn’t help McCarthy as the next establishment guy. The GOP doesn’t want to be known as the “Mack the Knife” party as all they are good for is stabbing in the back.

That’s enough it appears on day 1 to have a ‘gotta check in with us’ caucus...

In the old days they would go over a hundred rounds. This is nothing. Chip Roy is right. Things have got to change. I’m proud of the 20 for finally standing up to the RINOs. Anybody is better than Kevin.

So true. His pedo movie comes out January 8. That would be perfect timing for him to become speaker. Good grief they are stupid as a party.

“ All of this idiocy can not continue. This nation is in serious trouble. I have NEVER seen things this bad taken collectively.”

Why do you think this is bad?

Yep.

McCarthy has made this event all about himself.

Scalise, Biggs are far better choices.

Scalise can get to 218.

Well if there’s one thing we can always rely on the GOP to accomplish it is the democrat party agenda.

McCarthy is Piece of Establishment Sh!t. He deserves this and much more. Luntz’s B-buddy can GTH.

The GOP "establishment" have not done a dam thing in the last 10 years but back dems spending bills and attacking Trump. I expect no deference from McCarthy.

I am willing to give this a few days to play out. If nothing else it will give McCarthy a moment a pause before he sells us out again.

Ah relax...they’re just NOT voting for something. It’s when they vote FOR something that we get screwed.

Idiots - Democrats are laughing
Jim Jordan gave the nominating speech for McCarthy, and has voted for McCarthy in every round.

I can see it already, Jim Jordan will be bad for doing so, probably deep state in fact. But Trump, who endorsed McCarthy will still be good.

Not true. If those 19 change to present, jefferies is speaker! Gaetz said he might do this.

I agree with you why is that bad? For once some Republicans have grown a spine, which is most excellent! That POS needs to step aside, and let someone else have an opportunity at the speakership. But instead this arrogant piece of dog dung wants to continue the tradition the rats always take …count the votes until you win! By him pulling this type of crap is why we despise the three Mc’s…you can tell he’s deep down swamp creature!

Every Republican needs to stay there so that doesn’t happen.
