same reason traitor mcconnell said he couldn’t pass anything despite having a republican majority - oh, now we need 60 votes instead of 50 - so sorry Trump!
Another problem is that the gop are beholden to financial contributions from woke corporations. so they are committed to give them a profitable return on investment. Those contributions are also distributed among rinos for their election campaign.
In order to shield the rinos from exposing who they really are, spineless speakers such as McCarthy never really puts them to the test on votes.
I really think what Gaetz was getting at is McCarthy was not really responsible for the outcome, but just to simply bring the votes to the floor, and if it made rinos vulnerable for reelection challenges, so be it.They should then be primaried.
