In the third round, there were 20 Republicans who voted for Jordan.
GO draft Devin Nunes and lets get this over with. Even tempered, very conservative. He knows how bad it is.
Easy choice.
The House has adjourned for the day.
Still no speaker.
[Anticipate a lot of wheelin’ and dealin’ tonight.]
Six weeks from now, hardly anyone will remember. Most Americans went back to their work/school today without caring what happened. Nothing is going to happen for the next two years anyway…this stuff is critical to political junkies, and that’s about it.
No crisis

Guy is weak
My liberal friends love him
I told them “ Of course you do”
“My Mamma told me, you better shop around.”
It’s not a crisis. These votes are no more historic than any other election for Speaker. All this hundred year history and crisis talk is just bunk. Call me jaded if you want. The current Republican caucus is infested with RINOs and their majority leader is a RINO. I have about zero in common with them. I have zero expectations for the Republican majority over the next two years. That’s backed up by a lifetime of disappointments from the GOP.
What we need is a True Conservative not tainted by the Deep State and I have no idea who that will be or even could be. I don’t care for any of them. I would love to see this fiasco go on for the rest of the week.
I can only imagine the behind the scenes bribes and blackmail taking place and by the time it is over the Speaker job will not be worth a warm bucket of spit as John Nance Garner would say. Lord where is Garner when you need him??????
I just saw Brett Baier interview Lauren Boebert, he was red faced, furious and almost lost control. He was all in for McCarthy and defending MTG if you can believe that. Now he is bringing on Mike Waltz to discuss what he just heard from Boebert.
GOP leader Kevin McCarthy loses third vote for U.S. House speaker, deepening Republican crisis

What “Republican crisis” is this Democrat talking about? Far as I’m concerned the voting process is working as it should, and it is a credit to all of the anti-McCarthy voters! God bless them all!
We need someone with spine, someone who isn’t afraid to speak their mind and someone who isn’t a RINO…
NO CHOICE….MARJORIE TAYLOR GREEN.
Death to the Uniparty!
If McCarthy eventually prevails, there will be retribution for the humiliation he’s endured. Count on it.
Sorry, the real crises is getting a milquetoast SOTHOR like Californication McPoofyhair.
Trump should stay out of it…… Wrey, Barr, Sessions, mcMasters…..
Yeah, it’s a “crisis” (because the Democrat media says so, that’s why) because a backstapping anti-conservative squish can, for now, only get 90% of the votes he needs to become GOP Speaker despite all of his threats and the threats being echoed by his flying monkeys.
Why oh why is the GOP allowing a handful of radicals to deny Lord McCarthy his rightful place on the throne???
Why oh why can’t we be more like the Democrats, who are always so unified??? They never pander to the radical elements of their party, and always select reasonable, common-sense moderates like Schumer, Pelosi, Nadler and now this racist muzzie terrorist from Brooklyn to lead their party.
Oh wait.
What all of this drama mainly tells us is that the vast majority of elected Republicans are gutless pussies, terrified that eeeeevil conservatives might have even the smallest amount of influence in the GOP caucus, which might jeopardize all those important cocktail party friendships the GOP wimps have worked so hard to cultivate among Democrats.
