*****MAGA in disarray, who will be speaker of the House***** McCarthy REMOVED! Jim Jordan 0-3. Election denier Mike Johnson confirmed. Vote them out

Sometimes you get hit in the face with your own ball of sh!t. It's good to see McCarthy and his followers having to deal with this, they deserve it.

Honestly, I don't see why it's so bad for Boebert and others to vote the way they want. That's the whole idea of a vote, why are people wanting them to vote give up their vote. There's 435 people in congress, there has to be someone that can get 218 votes. Figure it out and come to an agreement.
So you think 20 con idiots should hold up over 200 other cons. I don't see that making any sense, carry on while the world watches.

Just to be clear, I'm a liberal and hate those far right people. That said, I don't believe anyone should be forced to vote for someone they don't agree with. The republican party allowed and encouraged these far right people so guess what, they have to deal with them now. So they either need to find someone who 218 republicans can agree with or work with the democrats to get some votes.

I guess if the role of the elected officials is to represent the people that elected them (which is different than espousing the actual best interests of those voters), then they should be voting the way they are and holding everything up.

It's apparent that the people that voted for these 20 (insert derogatory adjective here) people did so BECAUSE they just want to watch the world burn, and own the libs, and NOT because they wanted or expected actual responsible leadership, cooperative governance, etc.
 
Unless McCarthy can give something that the 20 want, which doesn't appear to be in the cards right now there are 2 options.

1. The republicans decide on someone else, it doesn't appear anyone else wants it.
2. More moderate republicans say screw it and work with democrats and find a moderate republican with positions for democrats included.

Can GOP be this dumb.

If Adam Kinsinger was still in Congress he could easily win speaker off a deal like #2.

Honestly since technically the speaker doesn't have to be a member of congress maybe they should give him a ring.

I said in an earlier post that democrats should throw Liz's name out there and see how many republicans are on board. While there are many things I'd don't agree with her on, she seems to country first and that means a lot right now.

I have no problem with the 20 holding up the rest...but they need a reason for doing it other than getting their faces in the media.

I agree the republicans were dumb to allow this to happen. But this is definitely what happens when you let a cancer into your locker room. There can be some great thing but usually it doesn't end well.

How funny will it be if McCarthy even makes concessions to Dems to put him over 218?

That would be an epic meltdown for Radical Right media.
 
McCarthy comes out of this entire circus being permanently neutered.

The only question is if he loses Turd's support after Failure #7?

45 is on one hell of a losing streak. You can understand why Murdoch's network is backing away.
 
I havn't been watching this closely a few of these names she's read I heard no vote. Does that mean they can be discounted against the 218 needed?
 
Best choice in 2016 by miles and miles.
I doubt he would have accomplished anything other than handling Covid better. I don't know if he would have gone after Obamacare like Trump did or give a massive tax break for the wealthy either.
 
Still 15 votes against him already…so evidently not a lot of movement towards McCarthy overnight.
