It’s obvious that, if Pelosi fails today to turn five liberal Republicans to vote for Jeffries, she will instruct her caucus to provide the votes to elect McCarthy.

There were never any other realistic choices. Sun Man or Ice Man, take your pick.

Laugh about it, shout about it, when you’ve got to choose - any way you look at it, you lose.

or they can hold out until

Five liberal Republicans give in to the pressure, or decide to take the money, or both, and Speaker Jeffries is sworn in.

I would prefer Jordan or Scalise. I think the deep state goes to work on any house speaker. That’s the problem. The deep state makes certain they are served above all others.

I predict Trump will keep on rising in the odds as this drags on

The opposite of Trump Derangement Syndrome is Trump Delusion Syndrome.

There aren't five votes in the House to make Trump Speaker - there may not be any.

Quit acting dumb.

You saw my answer on the other thread to you.

/\

It’s not ALL about his vote

it’s about his non leadership and refusal to fight the battles that count.

He left Karl lake out to dry.

If Arizona had been funded to win it would have thrown all the election fraud into the open

That domino would have made their whole cartel unwind.

And don’t even start spewing about all the wins that have no effect.

Arizona
Georgia
Pennsylvania

THOSE fights were the important ones.

Where was kev
(and ronna and the gope ) ?

Stabbing us in the back.

Kev us a ho and needs to go.

/\

Authority ?

What, judicial ?

Quit being dumb.

You know exactly what my point is and you can throw out all the diversionary turds you want rino, that’s my answer.

That’s your answer to my question about McCarthy’s voting record! Surely the Shasta County school system taught you better than that, kid.

/\

Hmmm

You seem to be pretty aware of my posting history

At least close enough to know where I live

So add this to your file

Didn’t go to school here

And though I hate to point this out

C.G. only enlists the top 10 %.

Honor roll all through school.
3.95 in college.

Maybe you just should have accused me of being off meds instead ?

As for those elections, those are state level matters, over which McCarthy had no authority. I’m unclear on what you think he should have done on the candidates’ behalf.

What battles? He was in the minority for four years, with the dems outnumbering his conference and overrunning them at every turn. What did you expect?

“He submits to D on big stuff”

On what, specifically? Does your word “Omnicoupusa” mean “Inflation Reduction Act?” If it does, you’re wrong. Not one R voted for that.

Democrats are loving this, laughing openly at the republicans, and so is most of the country

This seems to be the narrative handed down from the intelligence community to all the cubicles

Cuz I’m seeing it verbatim from the usual ilk.

So you can safely assume they are terrified their deepest asset is in jeopardy of getting the boot.

If dems end up voteing for kev to put hin past 218 it will prove my point.

My point remains

Dems terrified, not amused, kev their fav dem in drag , will lose, and if they panic and some dems vote for him , it will prove my.point

And here we are with AOC reported as saying some
