I posted this on another thread, but since I am a chronic threadkiller, I don't think too many people saw it, so I'll try here. Thanks for anybody who can offer some insight.

“ As much as I detest the Rinos, I don’t think they would vote for a democrat.”

But there might be enough that would vote for Liz Cheney along with all the Dems.

The Republicans will have 222 Votes. If the Five who vowed not to vote for him stay that way, he comes up with 217. I predict that at least one or two will be “Bribed” into voting for him. Stay tuned. January 3d is still over a month away and there will be a lot of “Jaw Boning” between now and then.

My suspicion is that McCarthy will negotiate (buy) Democrat votes for Speakership. Heaven knows what price he’ll be willing to pay for them.

= = =

This may be the flaw in your presentation.

Liz Cheney isn’t around anymore, but would vote for a democrat.

How many like her are left?

We saw 12 rinos cross over in the senate for the ‘marriage’ bill.

It would only take how many, 3 or 4? Final numbers aren’t in yet, I think.

And a larger question. Can the House call for a vote for a new speaker at any time? During the term?

My guess is that Democrats will extract the embarrassment of that and then throw a few votes to put him over the top. The alternative is that McCarthy and his leadership team drop out before/after the first vote, let the party put up a new candidate. I say that whatever it takes, they should stop McCarthy and his team from assuming leadership.

What happens is the caucus comes together to nominate someone else as SOH. Then they bring that person up for a vote. This process goes on until a speaker is elected from the nominees.

The SOH does not have to be a representative. So just about anyone could be elected as Speaker. All the Constitution says is the House will pick it's own officers.

My secret wish is Trump is elected Speaker. Just the photo of Nancy(who hates his guts) having to hand the gavel over to her nemesis would be a picture for the ages.

If McCarthy doesn't get a majority on the first vote, it goes to a second round, then a third, and so on until someone gets a majority.

McCarthy would have to horse-trade: either agree to put someone on a specific committee in exchange for his vote, or agree to bring a pet bill/amendment to the floor in exchange for their vote, etc.

If sandwich boy would agree to never reach across the aisle he wouldn’t have a worry about being elected speaker. The undeniable fact that he is a deal cutting RINO is the only reason this is even being discussed.

McCarthy and the establishment GOP wanted Twitter to block the accounts of the few Politicians that supported Trump.

If that’s what you want…

"...I don’t think they would vote for a democrat...."

At least 12 fellow traveling GOPers with the all qualifications of traitorhood come to mind...

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” Edmund Burke

I just left a message on the House Freedom Fund website requesting a list of the current members. I think they could use some encouragement. I’ll try to put together a contact list later today, unless somebody already has one they could post.

I have some errands to run now.

Thanks all,

Love,

O2

Not a huge McCarthy fan here but he is the best option at this time.

Otherwise we will have a Dem as the speaker. Will there be enough RINOs to vote for a Dem? Possibly. I'd rather not take the chance. No need for a circular firing squad at this time.

As much as I detest the Rinos, I don’t think they would vote for a democrat.

After what we've seen from the RINOs in recent years, I wouldn't put it past them to vote for a Democrat.
