I shed no tears if McCarthy does not become Speaker.
But who is going to replace his candidacy? And will he/she have enough votes to become Speaker?

What is their desired end-game? No House speaker should be chosen at all?

Can’t afford this f’n around while the communists charge forward. We need leadership so committee and staff can get organized.

Amateur numbers. Gotta pump ‘em up.

But it is a good reference point as to how many RINOs are actually in the House. They’re not all in the Senate, obviously.

He’s a weak leader. I only hope that Perry knows something, like for example that McCarthy will capitulate.

“We also note that the statement fails completely to address the issue of leadership working to defeat conservatives in open primaries”

This. This this this this this.

The republicans oppose us, and then they get surprised when we oppose them. The 11th commandment has never held when it comes to someone from the GOP Establishment smearing good conservatives, but yet its reasonable to think that these statements will have republicans screaming from the mountain tops that the 11th commandment is being violated by us conservatives and all we’re actually doing is pointing out the facts of their poor record. Enough is enough.

The establishment has failed. We need a truly conservative party for a change. Time to pack it up and go home.

At the end of the day, with the budget set for the next year, what is anyone expecting from this crew?

They have a very slim majority. How many just voted for the omnibus?

Emmer is supposedly funded by Soros and may as well be a Democrat.

Biden has said he won’t cooperate with them, on anything.

Any investigations will be done half-assed and strung out until some crisis and then put on the eternal back burner while they address “more important issues”.

Pretty much, every single one of them is a joke, save a few, and they confused to get re-elected so they can keep screwing us over.

I’m thinking Andy Biggs of AZ won’t be voting for for McCarthy either. Perhaps Debbie Lesko too.

Good for Paul Gosar, my current Congressman, and Eli Crane, my next Congressman.

Hahah, he’s being completely played. This is what thr GOPe pukes could have been doing to Rats for a decade and yet chose not to. This all represents exhibit A as to why he’s really not fit to lead. He’ll be a weak leader but he’ll probably get in.

Like they always say..... “for the good of the Party”, it’s time for McCarthy to “step aside”.

Trump has been working the phones trying to secure the Speakership for McCarthy but hasn’t made much progress.

Anyone know what ‘concessions’ McCarthy made? Perhaps he promised to talk to the hold outs...to The Establishment, that would be a ‘concession’. But perhaps something that actually moves things forward?
