My point is that if the GOP was as effective going toe-to-toe with the Democrat/Communist Party as they are fighting against each other we’d be much better off .... but GOP leaders are clearly fearful of doing so ... beyond strong words and loud talking anyway.

Good idea, but there are too many Never Trumpers in the RINO party.

“now make Trump speaker!”

Sounds good to me. That would send a message!

Well McCarthy wasn’t exactly the ideal pick to begin with as we all knew so this happening isn’t exactly surprising. However I do wonder what the Dems have up their sleeve to throw water on whatever happns from here on - they’re always up to no good!

Must be watered.

I see this as a warning to the RINOs, y’all need to MAGA or piss off.

The REAL reason McCarthy lost is not stopping the flow of $$$$ to Ukrainian money laundering.

I think it's more a matter of a high level of sustained frustration more than anything else.

Calls to mind a quotation from the brilliant M. Stanton Evans a few decades ago:

The reason our guys [conservatives] never get into high places is that as soon as they get into high places they're no longer "our guys"!

Gaetz has always been a clown in Congress. This is the guy who insisted in early 2021 that he had lined up enough Republican House members to get Lizard Cheney dumped from her GOP House leadership position.

She kept her post by a 145-61 vote.

You ask....”I wonder if McCarthy will attempt to put his name in the hat for the next round...”

Might be why he’s still smiling so much having just finished getting booted!

I doubt he could get the votes.

When the smoke clears McCarthy will be back as speaker, and Gaetz can use this, to get more donations. Everybody wins!

Be sure to watch Speaker Pro Tem McHenry slam down the gavel like a two year old having a tantrum.

The RINO’s are mad.

If the GOP leadership fought harder to stop sending money to Ukraine we wouldn’t be having this battle.

This really is a battle that the grassroots has engaged in, and it won’t stop anytime soon.

It’s these same RINOs that opposed Trump on almost every major battle.

The RINOs and their billionaire donors suck.

It's getting harder and harder these days to find a good pair of red shoes.
