They’re folding cuz there’s no one else and they’re looking pretty stupid. Gaetz voting for Trump embarrassed the unholy 20.

He can’t drop out he is OWNED by the donors and lobbyists!! ANY DEAL they make with him WILL NOT be worth the paper it is written on!! They instal him as speaker they will LOSE many of the base who have just had ENOUGH!! MANY, MANY of the base are just going to DROP OUT!! I have been at this same BS for 50+ years winning and winning elections YET everyday looking at the GREAT DESTRUCTION of my once beautiful nation, this destruction is at the hands of republicans (just like McCarthy, McCain, McConnell, Graham) as well as the Dems I have watched the WEALTH of these people become absurd while the destruction of our rights, our borders, our education system, our medical care, has meant NOTHING TO THEM!!
After 2020, the debate was whether the Republican Party could be saved or whether we needed to embrace the Constitution or Patriot parties instead. If McCarthy becomes Speaker, and does nothing of substance, people will rethink staying in the GOP.

Rep. Perry votes for McCarthy. Another holdout gets bought off or rolled. And Self flipped. I think that's the last of the 20 from previous votes.
At this point, there'd need to be 3 Dems who voted McCarthy if they were going to pull some kind of "grand bargain"... I kind of doubt it, but who knows what promises were made. McCarthy is more willing to work with the opposition than his own party.

Sparks….did not vote present. Voted mccarthy Which reminds me... Dems need not vote for McCarthy to pass him along, there could be enough voting "present" which would give McCarthy the majority of the quorum. Hmm...

“...both should be primaried and replaced with genuine Republicans...”
I’d be interested to read what you think constitutes a “genuine Republican,” and a few examples of whom you think currently fits your criteria.

I think a few of them not voting at all would help mccarthy the most

If you can’t find a #15, or higher, then combine them.
Like a 10 plus a 5,
Or 15 #1s.

What momentous legislation do you think yer idol Kevin McCarthy would be working on today if there wasn’t a floor fight going on?
Kevin McCarthy has sold his soul to the deep state lobbyists. He doesn’t care if you live or die. He needs to be harnessed by House rules which keep a Speaker from impeding individual reps from actually representing their constituencies. That ie what 20 brave conservatives are attempting to accomplish.
Turn off Fox Snooze. They have mind farmed you.

Without the card girls, today's thread is less aesthetically pleasing.
