He also plans to start voting on the floor on Tuesday.

I hope Goetz now understands the Iron Law of Unintended Consequences. Along with Rand Paul.

Flooding the field of candidates...

The GOPe back one candidate, and the conservatives water down their votes by having multiple candidates. Happens all the time.

Oh well. McCarthy was a turncoat. Didn’t release the J6 vids and wouldn’t impeach Bi-Dung. Sorry but we have to fight fire with fire. I personally want a speaker who will rip up Bi-Dung’s SOTU speech.

At least it is slowing down the Ukrainian money laundering operation.

It happened in California in 1986. When a vulnerable Democratic US Senator was up for re-election, 12 Republicans threw their hats into the ring. Eleven of them were conservatives and one was a RINO named Ed Zschau (rhymes, appropriately, with Mao). The conservatives split the vote and Zschau won with about a third of the vote.

In the general election, many conservatives went fishing or voted third party, and some even voted Democrat. The Democrat won in November.

Me too! That would be when we suddenly realize Republicans are on the same page as us. Joe Wilson was absolutely ripped apart for his “you lie”scream to Obama. Nancy Pelosi was exalted for the most egregious act ever during a State of the Union address.

If the GOPe had any spine at all, they would nominate Jefferies and be done with it. GOPe = Democrap Lite

GOPe RINOs are BALL-LESS!!!!

The Constitution does not require the Speaker to actually be a member of the House. So today I announce my candidacy for Speaker of the United States House of Representatives.

And because of my charisma, I fully expect to win. I even have my Speaker’s uniform all picked out. Instant respect is what I’ll get.

I am in total agreement with you. Now Bidung wants to spend another $100 Billion.

..... Like it or not it is the RINO's and Democrats that hold all of the cards here!!!!

...... It will take a majority vote to actually confirm a new Speaker of the House which basically leaves Conservatives high and dry because it is an impossibility to garner enough votes to create a winning majority without the help of the RINO's and a few Democrats.....

Lesson learned!

MAGA won the House and yet the biggest win thus far was exposing the 22 rinos that spit on us.
