Good for them. The last thing we need is another Paul Ryan. We need fighters, not panty-wearing Assistant Democrats.

Good we need some Chaos going on. Maybe McCarthy will get the message and move on.

Maybe the article should read that when it’s not in Chaos, they’ve spent more than any county on the face of the earth and much of it is unaccounted for.
They would have you believe normal order isn’t bankrupting the country and sending cash bundles to their family and future associates.

IIRC, they can vote ‘Present’...............
But McCarthy will secure 218 with some Democrats votes...............

A congress in disarray is quite comforting. It’s like running a prison. If things are running smoothly and no problems are filling up your day, the inmates are in the middle of some awful hell on earth full scale rioting and shanking.

Chaos? Ok, I guess a few have their panties in a wad, but this is how the process works and its about time the GOP uniparty RINO types get the message that the base is done with their shenanigans.
I would chalk this up as a win. There is a battle for the party and McCarthy has a lot of splinters in his butt. He is getting a lesson in “democracy”.
McConnell is completely on the other side of the fence and he does not give a crap what we think. He is all about himself.

Election to the Speaker post has to be an absolute majority of ALL members of the House. 218 is the magic number.
The good news is, the Democrat Socialists cannot get a majority either.

This might become the unexpected headline news on the MSM broadcasts, allowing them to bash Republicans for chaos, duping the low info voters into thinking poorly of the Republicans.

At some point, you have wonder about a group politicians who speak about themselves in the third person and shout to the world labeling themselves firebrands. Are they for real or simply self promoting attention whores? Guess we shall find out. I'm on the fence on this one.

"More like the GOPe in disarray."
Amen. The GOPe can't get their puppet installed as easy as they wanted. If McCarthy wants the job, he'll have to make some more concessions. It would be interesting to know who he is calling before he agrees to these concessions. Hopefully it won't be business as usual for Repbublicans in the majority.

Fantastic. McCarthy is a back-stabbing squish.

“He needs to remove his name from the running.”
Totally agree. McCarthy’s ego is dividing the party. He needs to stand down.
