He knows he doesn't have the conservative support and would have to depend on Democrat votes to win the speaker's chair.

They should have left McCarthy there. He did get the “Secure the Border” bill through...and it’s at the Senate.

No. Better the current chaos than a sell out Quisling.

McCarthy knows he cant get a bill through the Senate so what value was that? He had the power of the purse, the only real tool in the HOR now, and he squandered it more than once.

Didn’t even make it to a floor vote. I guess his deal with the Democrats fell through. They lied to him, just like they lied to McCarthy.

WATCH: Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) doesn’t rule out running for speaker again.
@SpeakerMcCarthy
: “I don’t need the title. I’m going to help in any way I can.”
@kwelker
: “I don’t hear you ruling it out.”
McCarthy: “I’m going to lead in any capacity.”

McCarthy made promises he never planned on keeping because he had made a deal with Pelosi that she would make sure the democrats voted for him should a motion to vacate the chair be filed. He trusted her. She lied (of course and as usual). Anyone who trusts Pelosi doesn’t need the speaker’s gavel.

Emmer stood no chance..he tried kissing Trump’s ass and Trump knew the second he endorsed him he would turn around and stab him in the back so Trump said no bueno and that was it
To: steel_resolve
Emmer’s voting record was almost 92% in lock-step with Trumps policies...
You against Trump too?
