Rep.-Elect John James (R-MI) nominated Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) for the seventh speakership ballot on Thursday after six separate votes between Tuesday and Wednesday did not result in the election of a speaker of the 118th House of Representatives.

James, a freshman and one of the first two black Republican West Point graduates ever elected to the House, along with fellow freshman Rep.-Elect Wesley Hunt (R-TX), told his colleagues, “The work we promised the American people we would do, we’re welching on that promise,” as speaker votes wane on.

It is so confusing these days—I thought this was the Babylon Bee headline!

A few days in and already a swamp creature—lol.

He is delusional if he thinks McCarthy’s priorities are what conservative voters want.

Voter Fraud (no chance), Honest Jan 6th Review (no chance), DOJ / FBI Punishment of Coup Attempts (no chance), Congress Insider Trading (no chance), Jan 6th Prisoners’ (no chance), Murder Charges against cop that killed Jan 6th Protestors, FBI leading the Jan 6th Protests (no chance), 87,000 IRS Agents not funded (no chance), Serious COVID Vaccine Review (no chance), True Budget Review (no chance) the list can go on forever.

McCarthy is the establishment...

How do you “learn how to win” from a guy on an 8 election losing streak?

If McCarthy is what winning looks like, I’d hate to see losing. The so called Leadership still doesn’t get it!
When the shtf, you can count on McCarthy to join the Dems by throwing stimulus checks at everyone. That’s like throwing gas on a barbecue.

The work we promised the American people we would do, we’re welching on that promise

Could have told you that a few decades ago

I have yet to hear how those Republicans claiming they need to "get to work on protecting the border, etc" can get anything they pass through the Senate and signed by Biden.

My working explanation for this is that they are lying.

We need to learn how to win.

You get all the Repbs in a room and have it out.

Get all the demands out there.

See who has the most power and most blackmail and the most threats and most money.

It won’t be pretty, or won’t be fair, but it will be!

Settle it. Then act in unity.

Like the Dems do. They look unified, right?

Oh they get it alright, and they know we have wised up to their Kabuki theater.

That is why McConnell rammed through the "Red Flag law" and McCarty allowed Cheney to join the January 6th committee.

They have turned on us and this is just the beginning.

The definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result.

I listened to his speech.

He was full of hot-air and said nothing of importance.

Much less-enthused with James then I was up and until today.
