Conservative is such a bullshit term anyway. Conservatives conserve the status quo. The status quo is grift, corruption, theft, and violation of Americans' civil rights.

They're Constitutionalists.

They're in no hurry to stop the GOP from continuing to make a fool of itself.  I mean it's impressive how loyal/brainwashed the Dems are.  They'll all toe the party line 100% of the time.

Evidently enough dems merely voting "present" would do the trick.  

If he gets in via direct dem votes or by their lack of participation, the result still tarnishes his Speakership,  not that he really cares at this point because he'd still have the gavel.

The only way I see them stepping in to help KM is if he gives them huge concessions, OR it looks likely that a true firebreather has a shot at the Speakers seat.  They surely don't want that.

Therein lies the real issue.  The Dems even with a minority in the house now control who becomes Speaker.  I agree that in no way do we get an actual conservative elected.  If the tide starts to turn in any real way I can completely see the Dems choosing (in their minds) the lesser evil and voting KM in.  

That would be the cherry on top of you guys don't have your shit together if the GOP starts to decide to move away from KM and he gets down to 100 votes or so and the Dems come in full force and all vote for him.

Pelosi calls Republicans' attitude toward McCarthy's speakership 'frivolous, disrespectful and unworthy'

Late Wednesday night after the House decided to adjourn for the day, Pelosi called out Republicans for their "cavalier attitude" in electing a new Speaker, tweeting "all who serve in the House share a responsibility to bring dignity to this body."

"Sadly, Republicans' cavalier attitude in electing a Speaker is frivolous, disrespectful and unworthy of this institution," she wrote.

Scalise got 75% of the vote in his district. I voted for the Libertarian because I know Steve does not need my vote, and I think he is to much of an establishment guy, but he is popular on Capitol Hill, so maybe he will get it. I don't know, it's not really my fight because I am registered "no party". George Washington was right about political parties.

He's still favored to win at this point,  so rather than just give it to him, make the dems vote him in.  If KM CHOOSES to ALLOW that to happen then more folks will see him for what he is.  HE is obviously willing to harm the party as a whole to get that Speakership.

What the holdouts are reportedly asking for concession wise seems very reasonable to me.  

Making these people rip off their masks and show who they truly are is always a good thing.

I think we'll survive just find without the house:
- Passing the types of bills that can actually make it through a dem senate/white house
- Renaming military bases, further erasing our history
- Passing feel good bills that would NEVER pass a dem senate or white house with the sole purpose of trying to make their voters believe that give a fuck about them
- Perform more usesless political theater disguised as investigations of the Bidens/Covid Response/Jan 6 response, etc...

How so?  This is exactly how the system is supposed to work.

For the first time in a long time the swamp isn't getting its way.  Maybe, just maybe, people will wake up to the shitshow that is Congress. Probably not, but we can at least enjoy the ride.
