If this was real, the real “senior” rino would identify his/herself and speak to Newsmax or OANN.
Nevertheless, what probably is true is that these scumbags are trying to exact promises of riches for their districts and are test Gaetz and Jordan with this stunt.
When the smoke clears we will know who they are and what needs to be done with them.

I am of the opinion that CNN is trying to influence the speakership by telling the GOP RINOs that there is some support for their position.

Ironically, this would tend to absolve Gaetz and the other 7 conservative “disrupters” who blocked McCarthy, since now you have a different handful on the RINO side doing the exact same thing.

By dong this, the RINOs give up any appearance of moral high ground. Who is disrupting now?

Personally, I see every day without a functioning House as a good day - all they do is spend us into oblivion.

It is Mike Rogers in Alabama’s 3rd district.
He is actively working with the democrats to get Jeffries the speaker position!

This POS is in a red district too!

Yes, there is a significant number of representatives that want McCarthy. Jordan has a couple days to sort this out. Otherwise, Republicans will have to find a compromise candidate, which doesn't appear obvious.

Maybe a new house rule, if no speaker chosen in x days, speakership goes to the senior member of the party until such time as a member gets sufficient votes. (And I write this without knowing who the senior member is.)

You seem to be very good at giving up.

Have you had a lot of practice?

What a clown show. Jordan is the best pick seriously who the hell do they want..McCarthy again??

Yes, Jordan would be the best pick. If he can't muster the votes, then yes, we might end up with McCarthy again, or if enough RINOs defect, we might end up with Hakeem Jeffries as Speaker. And yes, some political illiterates will cheer this ongoing idiocy, thinking in their dim way that it's a good thing for conservatism.

Those Republicans are part of the uniparty. While we do have a two party system in the US, the two real parties are not Democrat and Republican. Here they are:

(1) Marxist/leftist party that includes all Democrats and about half of Republicans who serve as “loyal opposition”; and

(2) Constitutional/conservative party that includes about the other half of Republicans.

The %s for the Republicans may be a bit off but I suspect it is close.

Gaetz needs to keep his mouth shut now. Anybody he endorses is dead on arrival.

Let’s see who can hold out the longest. I’m guessing it’s Gaetz and his allies.

It’s been a clown show from the beginning and in the worse possible time. This will definitely help democrats running for Congress. This blunder is already becoming a political issue for democrats running for Congress.

Yes. It’s apparent that many of the ‘Democrat Lite’ members pretending to be Republicans want to go back to feeding at the trough and put on more skits pretending to oppose the Democrats like McCarthy..

Rinos strike again

Perhaps, but this time they will have to do it with a public vote. They won't be able to hide in a secret vote.

Nothing gets done? Hardly, 80% of the federal government is on auto pilot.

Unfortunately you are correct. Before all of this the republican party was becoming America’s 2024 choice as the Party of National Security. This is quickly widdling away
