They don’t like me, they Really, don’t like me!

How truthfully different would the Senate have been if McConnel were voted out and Pierre Delecto (Romney) were in his place. Dems would have still got all they wanted, maybe more on illegal invasions.

This is a gut check, how in H311 can an establishment, well pressed-suit RINO squish from California who has done NOTHING for America, hope to represent the average American Citizen’s interests when dealing with hard-rock Communists, Globalists, Traitors, Totalitarians, etc.

“This is about the conference now because the members who are holding out ... they want something for their personal selves.”

By his actions pulling funding from conservatives in the election, McCarthy disenfranchised millions of conservatives like me who vote Republican. He is not fit to serve as the Speaker of the Party. Screw him and the RINO GOPe. We have a country to save and he has PROVEN he will not, AND DID NOT, do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Agree 100%. He thought if they did not get elected that he would become Speaker. Go Matt Gaetz and company!!! Stay Strong!!!!!!!

MAGA is not the base of the GOP.

If it were, Jordan would have 201 votes and McCarthy would have 20.

You are a minority in the GOP, and your childlike belief that the GOP is “us”, “our” party, “we” who are going to reverse the catastrophic decline of the nation is part of the problem.

Trump should know a snake when he sees one. He’s been bitten by a few.

Anyone political capital that McCarthy had is now shot. He’s the posterboy for Democrats, and will still be seen as untrustworthy by many Republicans if he does get elected as Speaker.

Time to move onto another candidate.

Bad news.

What Republicans perceive about any situation is of no importance.

The last time anyone in power cared about what the Republican rank and file thought about anything was 1928.
