It's not like she, or any of them, have any committee assignments to get to.
I'm ok with that.

He lost 5 times now - it's time for him to step aside.
"Never McCarthy" means what it says.

And he moved into the Speaker's office & is a squatter.
Conservatives should order their staffers to remove his shit & throw it in the dumpsters.
And they should have him arrested like they arrested the January 6th people who entered that office.

The present votes are actually a problem. With enough of them, we have Jeffries.

Let’s go Brunson!

Let’s just get it on.  I know it’s a long-shot to get the ruling we want from SCOTUS, but my body is ready.  Burn it all down and rebuild.

Jeffries as Speaker with a R majority would have about as easy of a time as McCarthy is with getting elected.

Gridlock, impasse.  Again, I'm ok with that.  And it really isn't any worse than where we've been for the last 2 years.

Wrong... none of that matters.  It isn't "majority" votes... they MUST have 218.  ONLY way Jeffries wins is if enough GOP vote for HIM to get him to 218.  That ain't happening.

1. For an awful lot GDers, everything in life is about Trump. This has pretty much nothing to do with him. Move on. For everyone who said DeSantis was now the leader of the GOP, where is he on this?

2. If KM does partner up with the Dems, I guess we'll have to hear that's the conservatives fault that KM gave away the farm for his personal glory and power.

3. Statists always think you need to take one for the Team - they never think they should make any sacrifice.

4. The sad thing about #2, most of the GOP conference will nod, and say it had to be done, and sheeple along.
Desantis is smart and is staying quiet. Trump could have done that, but he was an idiot.

He has the right, just not the ability.

Actually, that’s wrong.  It’s a majority of the votes actually cast for a candidate.  Present or not voting doesn’t count.  It only 400 people vote for any candidate, they only need 201 votes to win.

I believe it's a majority of all members both physically present and voting. Those who merely announce themselves as present without casting a vote for someone lower the threshold for a majority as a consequence.

Yup, majority of votes for a candidate.  Present votes lower the denominator.

Democrats don't want the Freedom Caucus platform implemented either. Seems fairly likely that some Dem votes will either switch to McCarthy or to Present.

McCarthy is supposedly trying to broker that deal right now.  Rather than concede to the Freedom Caucus of his own party.

Says a lot.
If that's how McCarthy wins, then the GOP deserves to die like the Whigs.
It already deserves that fate and has for quite some time.

It's also the way the GOP loses 75% of its support in the heartland, and that means an awful lot of people in DC not being in DC anymore. Kind of hard to make your 10% that way.

It is awesome seeing actual debate and argument happen in Congress. This is what the Founders intended. Our system of government was designed to be dysfunctional on purpose. So government cannot intrude on the rights of the people.
