>>Your comment is perfect, and explains the typical childish mentality we see here at times from a few. I’m more optimistic than you though. You say they are 50%

They ARE childish and cannot bring themselves to discuss anything reasonably. As the parlance goes, "they are easily triggered" and quick to use the "RINO Card". They constitute far more than 10% and are one of the reasons I spend less and less time here. It's sad because FR used to be a site where one could go to get quick, thoughtful, well-considered analysis.

“well-considered analysis.”

How about this analysis?

McCarthy made a deal with the dems during the first vote last year.
That enabled him to make promises to the Freedom caucus that he never intended to keep.
Like ... no more crs.
Regular order etc...
He believed that WHEN not if the motion to vacate was made the dems would give him the few votes he needed to keep the chair.
But ... the dems hung him out .. it's just who they are.
Perhaps his eyes are starting to open.
He may see Jim Jordan as a way toward a little pay back.
Could it be?
