Kevin McCarthy Defeated in Effort to Quash GOP Dissidents: Live Analysis

I'm not a big McCarthy fan, but it seems like Gaetz is "cutting off his nose to spite his face" - we could end up with Nanzi again!

Look, people, all he had to do was tell his own caucus the truth.

THAT MEANS NOT BRING BILLS TO THE FLOOR OPPOSED BY A MAJORITY OF HIS OWN CAUCUS.

It’s not complicated. That’s all he had to do. He is going to bring Ukraine funding to the floor and it is opposed by a majority of his own caucus.

Does this mean he can’t govern? Nobody sent him there to govern. He was sent there to represent his voters, and then when he sought to be Speaker, he was sent to that office to represent the majority of his caucus.

If he had done that and only that, this would not be happening.

Agree!
In this kind of thing, you shouldn’t start something unless you have control of how it ends. Otherwise, it looks a tantrum particularly if you end up with something worse.

I just want someone in there who will keep their word. Nothing more, nothing less. McCarthy had one job and didn’t do it.

NEXT!! I’ll take Jim Jordan.

So, would you prefer the status-quo? We’re in debt to our eyeballs. This country is going down the crapper and McCarthy is large part of the problem.

No, it seems like McCavey made too many different promises to too many different groups. We can’t let the status quo continue.

Idiotically, McCarthy and his team misjudged the House GOP caucus and the GOP base. All McCarthy had to do was to honor the promises he made to become Speaker. Instead, he broke those promises almost from the jump and deliberately antagonized Gaetz and his allies.
