> it sure wasn’t Gaetz
Bannon knows some people and seems not to have much to lose.
I doubt Trump could get the votes.
All the Democrats voted with Gaetz and 6 other Republicans.
I won't watch CNN so who is going to hysterics over there now?
“Wow, Trump is so popular in the GOP, now he takes a major loss.”
No, McCarthy took a major loss.
“This is a clown show”

Hey RINO, this is representation. McCarthy LIED to get his seat. He was proven to be a liar. He lost his seat. Just as it’s supposed to be, RINO.
Trump posted this on Truth Social about Kevin McCarthy on 1/7/2023:
“The Fake News Media was, believe it or not, very gracious in their reporting that I greatly helped Kevin McCarthy attain the position of Speaker of the House. Thank you, I did our country a big favor.”
Trump’s disastrous judgment has once again proven NOT to be a big favor for the country.
McCarthy to Gaetz: Bring it on.” He done brung it

Gary’s pulled a babe ruth point to the stands followed by a Home run
“He’s the dog that catches the car.”
You’re too slow, one of the other GOPe bots already posted that talking point upthread.
What now, Matt? Surely you have a plan. /s
“ Why did all the Democrats vote for this?”
Why wouldn’t they?
What point are you making? What is your reasoning.
If your question is not rhetorical the answer is that McCarthy is not in their party and it gives them a chance (remote to non-existent) to elect a speaker from their party.
If true, that was quick. Local newspaper is saying it is true and screaming about how rabid Republicans are to oust the first sitting Speaker of the House.
I bet the spin will get pretty thick as administered by Democrats over the next several days. Their talking points should be interesting to watch.
Well, since McCarthy is Trump’s guy, so did Trump.
I imagine the Dems have mixed feelings. They are no friends of MAGA, but they also probably enjoy seeing a Republican speaker get dethroned.
Let them - I would welcome the battle.
Maybe things will change. At least it’s a start. Now get Jim Jordan to be speaker. He’s always seemed like a doer.
I share your opinion. They ALL ought to vote to oust themselves!!! D's and R's alike!
Probably not. Not sure whether this is true, but it's been reported that Trump was on McCarthy's side.
Ok big brain. What is the plan that doesn’t a deal with Ds to elect a new speaker?
“I am trying to make sense of it all but maybe there is no logic to it.”
^^^This^^^
“Gaetz is the dog that finally caught a car.”
That is a great analogy.
I was no big fan of McCarthy, but he did better than I expected as speaker and this didn’t seem like the time to oust him. With things as they are, the timing of this is going to make it play out as a catagory 4 or 5 Schiff storm.
