Bannon knows some people and seems not to have much to lose.

I doubt Trump could get the votes.

Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., forced the vote after McCarthy passed a bill to keep the government funded. Gaetz and seven other Republicans, along with all Democrats, voted to remove him.

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.

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.

“He’s the dog that catches the car.”

You’re too slow, one of the other GOPe bots already posted that talking point upthread.

“ 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.

Watch for RINOs to get revenge by threatening to vote for a Democrat speaker unless they get another RINO.

Let them - I would welcome the battle.

If anybody believes anything is going’s to change because of this, they are sorely mistaken.

Maybe things will change. At least it’s a start. Now get Jim Jordan to be speaker. He’s always seemed like a doer.

Excellent! Burn it all down! 1776

I share your opinion. They ALL ought to vote to oust themselves!!! D's and R's alike!

I wonder if Gaetz is on Trump’s VEEP short list?

Probably not. Not sure whether this is true, but it's been reported that Trump was on McCarthy's side.

“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.
