Yeah. Nice try. What happens if McCarthy is speaker and does an end around
conservatives to work with RATs to pass bills?
Will that fill you with joy?
And McCarthy will do it.
It will be like Pelosi is back in charge.

Will you feel the same when McCarthy does an end around conservatives to work with RATs to pass bills? Something tells me that you and MTG will be silent.

No, because that is a substantive piece of legislation, and nobody is required to support anything.

But voting for Speaker is a one-shot deal on a critical Constitutional position. If you oppose the GOP so much that you'd rather have a Democrat as Speaker, whether because of the "Uniparty" or whatever" you shouldn't have run as a Republican in the first place.

You are absolutely correct.

How does that make what I said wrong? The Speaker will be McCarthy, Pelosi, or Jeffries. Of course McCarthy will work with Pelosi.

Do you deny that any of that is true?

Utter nonsense. You never addressed how McCarthy will reach across the isle
and work with RATs to pass whatever the DC elites want. INSTEAD of working
with Conservatives.

No, I don’t deny. And that’s my point. Instead of crafting bills that will get
All GOP member support. McCarthy will end around Conservatives.
Don’t ever let me see you whining about Liberal Support afor McCarthy’s Bills.
I’ll remind you you got what you wished for.

How am I supposed to address something that hasn't happened yet?? If you want to offer up something specific, I'll tell you my opinion.

You do realize that while Speaker McCarthy may cooperate with Pelosi on some bills, Speaker Pelosi is going to cooperate with Speaker Pelosi 100% of the time.

You keep acting like this is a choice between McCarthy and Jim Jordan. It isn't. It's a choice between McCarthy and someone worse.

Why do you think I wish for McCarthy as Speaker?

What have I ever said that would make you think that?

McCarthy will be Speaker because there aren’t 30 patriots in Congress. That’s not my doing. The only way you are going to get a Speaker to your liking is at the head of a Marine Expeditionary Unit, but we are discussing an election with only 435 voters - and if you have an idea how to change what’s going to happen there, let us all know.
