The conservative and influential Club for Growth announced it cut a deal with the super PAC affiliated with House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), signaling possible movement in the House speaker race after a stalemate had resulted in no speaker through six rounds of voting as of Wednesday afternoon.

The deal with the McCarthy-affiliated super PAC, the Congressional Leadership Fund (CLF), involves CLF agreeing to stay out of open-seat Republican primaries in safely red districts, as well as CLF vowing not to enable other super PACs to do the same.

Interesting 🤔

So they’re saying money may influence House politics? Who could imagine such a thing?

[imabadboy99]

that’s a pretty weak-ass concession. Screw you McCarthy aka Paul RYNO’s butt boy!

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Helpful. Now, what about McCarthy and his affiliates actually being made to bother to fund conservative candidates in competitive general races?

and they can do what if CLF reneges?

Pathetic, not a breakthrough

This sucks. Here is why. I ran a congressional campaign in 2022 and had a deal with CFG if we raised $250k in Q1 of 2022 they would endorse my candidate and allow use of their membership list to fundraise off. That was huge. We didnt hit the mark.
Here is why it is bad. That was an R+30 district and the competition has a conservative rating of 61/100.
Campaigns are all about the money. Campaign finance laws must be changed.
Tell that to the new candidates for 2024 and let the new county GOP chairs, district chairmen, and potentially a new RNC Chairwoman and their tune may change.
Politics is a knuckle dragging-club swinging band of mo-fo’s

Groan...

[SeafoodGumbo]

Who cares? McCarthy needs to go. Period.

and they can do what if CLF reneges?

Have a Motion to Vacate the Speakers Chair by a single sponsor.

[Vermont Lt]

He’s just paying the whores.

Of course, they are all whores.

[spokeshave]

That keeps McCarthy an a very tight leash

In fact 20 leaches....each one owned by one of the 20 hold outs.

[one guy in new jersey]

Sounds like an FEC violation brewing.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Personally I believe that the national party should keep it's mitts out of primaries.

That is entirely a local issue.

[Jane Long]

Club for Growth is swamp!

Open Borders swamp.

Too little, too late, anywho.

[Jane Long]

Yes....the RINOs making threats, calling names (like terrorists, clowns, etc), and, brow beating are definitely who-ares, as you say.

[Mr. K]

Why the hell is this even an issue?

[Eccl 10:2]

Meaningless. I can’t see how this moves anyone’s needle.

One RINO group cuts a meaningless deal with another RINO group.

This is not a “breakthrough.” It is completely unenforceable.
