he has made the necessary concessions in writing

ROFL!!!

He won't bother to put it in writing when he ignores them.

Sad truth is “true conservatives” do not get elected in majority numbers. Sooner this reality is accepted, the better off GOP will be. A fractured GOP is a gift to the democRats.

What the deep state wants, deep state gets regardless what the American people want.

You can't fight city hall.

He needs 4 more(7 holdouts). Gotta tell you I’m lovin’ this. All his (McCarthy)concessions have to be written down. The holdouts know we need new leadership. Profile in courage stuff.

As it got closer I was expecting him to get the extra 4 because they might want to go home for the weekend.

The entire congressional sessions should be moved to Ely, Nevada. Not enough hotel rooms for the lobbyists.

So what other choice you have to replace McCarthy who can get 218 votes?

Agreed. Gaetz is sounding like a punk.

Well, you can, but eventually city hall either buys off or kills the opposition. It’d be hard to kill congresscritters, so the alternative is to buy them off, which, is apparently working..

McCarthy is experiencing the consequences of being a less than honest dirtbag at times.

You make a rational argument. That is never embarrassing. Only embarrassment is people who live in Neverland.

Listening to garbage from the democrats…..the party of Hakeem, Escobar, Ocasio-Cortez, Omar, Talib, Aguilar. Incidentally, Escobar who just nominated Hakeem again, finished in Spanish

What gets me is nominating Donalds in 2nd term. Come on. They could have at least taunted Maxine with a “Diversity is Strength” claim while doing it. Better yet how about Black Lives Matter?” Turn their cliche’s around.

"team up with the Dems for a “unity” candidate and instead of a half a loaf, we will have nothing."

The Dem's already have that, and it's McCarthy......he's a simple Deep State Tool, as are all the lock-step Dems. Hakeem is their token lawn jockey prototype, who'll do the bidding of the Deep State and rake in millions from Taxpayers and the Global Elite who fund/control/and cash in on the Government handouts they get from controlling it.

Good grief.

And if that happens, there won’t be a single serious investigation into the bribery payments made to Hunter Biden, the incompetence of Mayorkas or any other conservative topic, period.

Do you seriously believe McCarthy will do anything serious about these things? Oh there will be investigations but they won't be serious in any way, shape, or form. They will be clown acts and in the end, amount to precisely nothing.

These speaker votes are utterly meaningless outside of McCarthy's ego. Peewee Herman or Goofy the animated dog might as well be speaker.

Are you delusional enough to contradict my point?

These articles leave out actual news.

What was the actual vote count?

Which Representatives voted for other than Hakeem or McCarthy?

Which ones switched to McCarthy after voting against him earlier?

These articles write as if Congress is a black box.
