OK.
I think that the Conservatives have wrung just about every drop of water from this stone that they are going to get.
Now may be the time for them to accet the numerous concessions that they have rightfully forced McCarthy to concede and just vote “present” in the next vote for Speaker. If I understand it, by voting “present” it lowers the threshold for the number of positive votes required for Speaker.
The MAGA Caucus gets to save face, McCarthy gets his dream job (for as long as he can hold onto it), and the rules of the House have been shifted ever so slightly back to sanity.
Am I wrong?
Correct............We shall see what happens.................
A pretty good outcome. I never thought we would get a conservative speaker once Jim Jordan dropped out. Concessions in writing is a win.
Nope, it’s the only realistic acceptable alternative at this point.
