Maybe if the GOP didn’t actively try to make conservatives lose in 2022 they would have more people to support him. He’s getting exactly what he deserves.

The Club for Growth is not our friend tho. If they’re pushing for McCarthy to lose, then they’re working for the other side IMO. They hated Trump and hate MAGAs too.
To: RandFan
McCarthy will be struggling even more his first 2 failed Speaker Votes.

So how does this process work, is it just a simple majority vote. If the Republicans split their vote, can the Rats win the speakership.
To: Licensed-To-Carry
It has to be a majority (50%+1) of votes cast.
So democrats really can’t win. But they can screw the process up. Like vote for McCarthy. Or hold out for a conservative and a liberal GOP person to go forward. Then vote for the liberal.

Well, he had better win now. If he doesn’t he’ll have to move to an “untaken” office which will certainly be a CRAPPY office. ;-)

I haven’t watched this closely - enough to know so far he doesn’t have all the votes needed last i heard.

I’d keep those moving carts close by. McCarthy may be moving in
but could could be moving out just as quick.

McCarthy
Great talk
Mediocre walk in the past
To: RandFan
By God, I hope they hold strong. This choreography must be stopped.

No. Dems cannot win the speaker vote unless 6 GOPers votes for Jeffries. This is very unlikely

An alternative will emerge.
And it won’t be a Democrat.

He'll get the votes. Why the hold outs play their sill games is beyond me. Do your duty. Vote for the candidate the majority of the party supports.
They're acting like Romney, Collins and Murkowski in the Senate.
