Dems will probably toss a few dozen votes to McCarthy to see if he gets over the line.

Comparing him to Reagan is going to leave actual stretch marks

Why even bother with the vote if you don’t have enough ?

If a candidate for Speaker voted to fund the Department of Education, House Republicans shouldn’t vote for the candidate.

Exactly how many “votes” do they get? Is there a cutoff point?

"Dems will probably toss a few dozen votes to McCarthy to see if he gets over the line.

I am surprised they haven't- considering he is one of them.

Then the RINO bastige could say he was elected by a 'bi-partisan' group.

And offer them committee chairs.

Like the Judiciary, if he promised not to investigate the laptop.

It’s getting ridiculous, now. It’s will go into a 7th vote unless he gets some sense.

After losing five previous ballots, Florida Rep. Kat Cammack, nominated McCarthy for a sixth time.

What is the point of nominating anyone until you're certain you have the votes?

From the Article: "How did 19 Republicans not respect that?" Greene said. "I think 19, or 20 now, should respect Jim Jordan's wishes."

And there is another part of the problem on perfect display. Do what you're told and toe the line.

What's Marjorie's angle in all of this?

I predict McCarthy will become speaker.

Then the Drive By Media will tell us over and over that it's proof that conservatives (not Republicans) are fractured.

While simultaneously telling us that any time he does anything the Dims want that he has a "mandate" to do so with his "landslide" win as speaker.
