Can someone explain to me why the vote was canceled just because McCarthy dropped out? Weren’t there two others running that could be voted on? Was it because Boehner now was not going to get the result he wanted?

I hope not.
1. His position on many issues is “RINOesque”

2. He is too close to the establishment

3. He lacks the intelligence for leadership - anybody who couldn’t win a debate with an idiot like Biden is unfit for leadership.

well, a congressman in the running also said that as well

(don’t remember who, they all look alike)

However, as of minutes before the Special Report last evening Ryan reconfirmed he was not running

Sure hope it stays that way. Someone needs to unite all of the right.

Boehner isn't leaving until they get someone acceptable to the Chamber of Commerce,K Street,Wall Street,and the Democrats. Boehner’s speaking and consulting fees in retirement are contingent on ensuring on the predetermined outcome if he doesn't deliver than his retirement will consist solely on his Congressional pension and who could live on that in this day and age?

The GOPe (RINO’s) really believe most Americans are stupid! RINO (Ryan) is just another Boehner in different clothing.

On another issue, McCarthy was just outed as having a girl friend by Homeland Security which they would have used to keep him in line once he became Speaker of the House. There is no doubt the US Supreme Court members are being black mailed by this administration along with most of the Republican RINO’s. No leadership, no guts, no standing up to this communist in the WH.

Ryan can take a long walk off a short dock, NO thanks! Americans need a strong leader who will stand up to this out of control government and the communist running it!
Ryan is a go along to get along RINO!
