“The rebels have no candidate for speaker...”
There is that line again, the line that the ones using it think is so brilliant.
It is not necessary for them to have a candidate for speaker, that was not the object of their move. The object of their move was to get rid of McCarthy.
The Republicans caucus has to choose another speaker, not Gaetz. It is not his obligation to pony up a Speaker candidate before he makes his move. That would have made some RINOs stroke out.
According to the above line everyone thinks is so brilliant, if the Republican caucus can’t come up with another Speaker, they should all be primaried out of Congress.
NOW, there is no candidate for speaker. Because the job description just changed. From lap dog to guard dog. But never fear, a few more people will join the cause, and one will do a gut check and apply for the new position. And soon, too. Many will want to be a part of the new reform movement.
