McCarthy was the wrong guy to begin with. He's too RINO. That's why it took 15 ballots for his own party to confirm him.

McCarthy's primary mission as speaker was to figure out how to bypass his own caucus. For the GOP to conduct brinksmanship with their own speaker every time a bill was in committee (DoD appropriations, Ukraine funding, temporary spending bill) is no way to run day-to-day operations in the House.

Just start over and find someone you can trust.

How is it that far left nancy pelosi was able to deliver, for the far left, far left victories with a slim majority?

Yet paid social media influencers here at FR claim McCarthys failures were due to having a slim majority? And therfore his failures are actually commendable.

What say RinoInc?

McCarthy was apparently a PRyno’s RINO.

May his ill fated Speakership RIP.

What big victories did Pelosi achieve with slim House majority and GOP-controlled Senate and White House?

I thought Trump endorsed him. True? False?

Do you think his track record as SOTH may have blunted his appeal?

I think Jim Jordan would be an outstanding Speaker. I hear he’s in the running.

I know nothing about McCarthy or Gaetz.

What I don’t get is what is the compelling reason mcCarthy was ousted.

Demwits in congress are all lefties (or they’d better be, or get canceled). We have no such common denominator.
Our side is trifurcated: country club pubbies, Christian right pubbies and libertarian pubbies. None of them like each other very much. Christian right and libertarian pubbies are poles apart, and insist on their own peculiar purities. Country club pubbies care mostly about commerce, fiscal soundness and smooth operations.

There is no common bond except love of country. Now, I’d expect them to pull together if for no other reason than that; but so far, no go.

He broke his word to the Republicans in the house and made deals with Biden in secret. All the promises he made as conditions for being elected as SOTH were broken.

This is Matt Gaetz’ statement listing the reasons for removing McCarthy from the position of SOTH

Burchett posted a video outlining his reasons for oustin McCarthy

It’ll be a good thing if they get a non-Rino to replace him.

*************

I don’t trust Jordan, he didn’t want the job in January and has been a McCarthy supporter from way back.

Gaetz and his seven Republican “buddies”(Plus all the democrats) don’t have a plan or a better Speaker, so he’ll bullshit and fund raise and a ‘McCarthy type’ nobody will eventually become Speaker.

How much loyalty should anyone expect Trump to have for the RINOs who did nothing about the 2020 Big Steal, or those who seated members “elected’ by stealing votes in 2022, or who failed to subpoena evidence of voter fraud, or Hunter Biden?
