Apparently most Republicans, excepting about 20, have been unable to rid themselves of their covering of Deep Swamp scum.

McCarthy needs to step down.

trump for speaker.
It would be a beautiful thing. (Mccarthy would do all the real work but trump would wield the gavel and withhold funding from the fbi until they turned over j6 docs.

The new Rules package seems to be being worked out. Then the 20 need to get to yes if that happens.

Nine votes for Speaker of the House, for a guy who cannot win it.
They're trying to jam the establishment candidate down our conservative throats.
How is that not an insurrection and against the will of the conservative voters who gave Republicans charge of the House?

The thing that’s confusing this is that Trump is supporting McCarthy.
My personal feeling is that the holdouts should get committee power, change that voting rule back to 1 vote (it was changed to 5 by Nancy, who wanted to make it difficult to oppose her), and then vote for McCarthy.
But Trump shouldn’t have supported him in the first place, and that is what has confused this. Of course, Trump also supported McConnell, who got judges through but was a complete traitor to the GOP and is now swanning around with his new BFF, Biden.

McCarthy is a putz. What do you have against putz's that you'd compare McCarthy to them?

He is Pelosi all over again. Just with a R California name. A big thanks to the R’s that are holding some line.
What a friching joke!

Very few patriots left in government. A handful maybe in the Senate, these 20 in the House, and precious few in the courts. The nation is on life support.

Kevin McCarthy vs. Kevin Hern
Are we going to have the battle of the Kevins now?
To: Navy Patriot
Ninth!
After the first couple of failures, you’d think they would’ve stopped the voting and retired to a back chamber until they got something hammered out.
So now they’re just throwing spaghetti up on the wall hoping something will stick.
Silly.

McCarthy and his acolytes have no strategy other than "let's wear them down until they vote for me" ....
That's sure what it appears to be anyway. Any other explanation doesn't make sense, IMO.

BS....20 hardheads have to vote for McCarthy. There is no damn alternative....and they know it.
To: livius
Jim Jordan is not only supporting him but nominated him.
To: Sacajaweau
MCCarthy should have made these deals before. He is not a leader.
