Boebert was on Bongino a few minutes ago. She states:
• KM is only talking to them through intermediaries. • All the concessions are mostly 'trust me' promises. In other words, they are turning the media against the conservatives. (Not hard). • No deal on the horizon. In fact, she hasn't seen anything concrete. • KM already trying to weasel around the CFG deal last night by using other PACs to diddle in Republican primaries. • A chunk of the 20 don't care about concessions anymore - KM is a deal killer regardless of what he offers. |

It is like watching a train wreck at this point.
You just cant look away from the carnage. |

My fear in all this mess is the Democrats. They see the divide and disarray within the Republican party and may pounce to take advantage of it.
It would not be beyond the Dems to make a side deal with McCarthy and provide him enough votes to put him over the top. Given how desperate he is to get it, he could easily give in and give the Dems assurances on such things as debt limit increases, immigration consessions and a host of other thing in order to get the needed Dem votes. . There's the added benefit of McCarthy 'sticking it' to his party by not supporting him. He's a slimy shitbag and I can see him doing this. |

This is awesome. Seriously.
Who are the three others at this point? (Who placed the vote and for whom? |
|
I feel like we need a betting pool of some kind. Maybe a poll.
Number of votes until a speaker is chosen Number of days until a speaker is chosen Who wins the Speaker position If we did days or votes until it is resolved, I could maybe toss in a pmag or two for the winner(s). Maybe I'll just add a poll for now. |

"We aren't gaining any momentum with Donalds," Colorado Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert told The Washington Post of her switch to vote for Kevin Hern (Okla.) instead of Byron Donalds (Fla.). "We need a true consensus candidate that can unite the Republican Party. I believe that Kevin Hern is that man to do it. He's the chairman of the largest caucus in our Republican conference and he was unanimously elected. He's a businessman and a leader, a principled man. And that's important."
Republicans Lauren Boebert (Colo.) and Josh Brecheen (Okla.) cast ballots for Oklahoma Republican Kevin Hern, chairman of the Republican Study Committee. Hern who was not nominated for the speaker job appeared surprised by their votes and laughed along with others. He has supported caucus leader Kevin McCarthy (Calif.) in the voting. Republicans Michael Cloud (Tex.), Andrew S. Clyde (Ga.), Eli Crane (Ariz.), Bob Good (Va.) and Paul A. Gosar (Ariz.) voted for Florida Republican Byron Donalds on the eighth ballot. Donalds himself did not cast a vote when his name was called during the roll. Florida Republican Matt Gaetz voted for former president Donald Trump for a second time. Republicans Andy Harris (Md.), Anna Paulina Luna (Fla.), Mary E. Miller (Ill.), Ralph Norman (S.C.), Scott Perry (Pa.) and Andy Ogles (Tenn.) voted for Florida Republican Byron Donalds. All are part of the holdout bloc. In the eighth round of voting, Republicans Matthew M. Rosendale (Mont.), Chip Roy (Tex.) and Keith Self (Tex.) voted for Florida Republican Byron Donalds. Indiana Republican Victoria Spartz voted present something she's done since the fourth ballot. |
