lol, swamp political theatre, makes zero difference who gets picked.

These dipshits are gonna end up throwing the Speakership to someone that the Dems control.
McCarthy sucks but he's light years better than the alternative. |

never underestimate the republicans ability to fuck things up...

The hypocrisy behind the Dems "we're all equal", but then pointing out they have nominated a black man for the first time ever speaks volumes.

I wonder how many votes it will take to elect someone.
What happens if nobody gets a majority of votes in the House of Representatives to be speaker? What happens if Kevin McCarthy cannot get the 218 votes, does the House go without a speaker? Richard Dykema Former Chief of Staff/Legislative Director, et. al. at U.S. House of Representatives (1977–2019) If nobody gets a majority of those Representatives “present and voting” (which could be slightly less than 218, depending on vacancies, absences and abstentions), then the House of Representatives will vote again, and again, as many times as it takes for a candidate for Speaker to get the required majority. The House of Representatives will not be able to proceed with other business such as adopting the rules (which establish committees, among other things), until a Speaker is elected. View Quote |

McCarthy: 203
Jeffries: 212 Biggs: 10 Jordan: 6 Banks: 1 Zeldin: 1 One other I missed got 1. No speaker elected, voting will occur again. |

So 18 voted against McCarthy. If an actual conservative was speaker, how many Rinos and moderates would vote against any conservative measure put forth? We don't have a winning hand here either way.

What a circus. Jordan is such a tool.
Democrats are NOT your friends. |

What are the odds that the Republicans screw around and we end up with Hakeem Jeffries as Speaker? If there were any viable alternative to the Democrats, the Republicans would be toast.

Quoted: That logic right there, is exactly what got is to where we are right now. It doesn’t even matter at this point. View Quote It does matter, and throwing a tantrum in the House and risking the Speakership isn't going to get us where we need to go. The Freedom Caucus and Biggs already tried to get the Speakership. They lost. There was already an election, and they lost. There is no possible scenario at this point that'll change that outcome. The ONLY potential outcomes are: 1) McCarthy wins, 2) Someone like Scalise steps in and wins, or 3) a handful of RINOs join with Democrats to elect a "unity" candidate who would be much, much worse than McCarthy I'd like to see Scalise take it but that's not likely based on the reporting we have. And yes, it does matter, because the Speaker will determine who gets what committee assignments and what investigations can take place. Or not. Oh, and what legislation hits the floor. Yes, that matters. A lot. All this bullshit does is make the entire party look like a bunch of fucking incompetent clowns. And... That's an accurate assessment so far. |

We pretty much know McCarthy is going to continue to control spending in his office with the lobbyists and government swamp dwellers, and all investigations will be limited so as not to do 'too much damage to institutions.' McCarthy is Mitch without the drawl. You can support that, or not. |

We don't have a winning hand here either way. View Quote It's amazing that the "moderate" Democrats will fall in line behind a far-left nominee but the moderate Republicans will refuse to do so. Of course, the Democrats have swung so hard left in the last couple decades that the once "far-left" Pelosi was derided as "too moderate" by many in her party when she last won the Speaker election, but I digress. |

Don't believe the made up BS from the mainstream media, those folks are trying all they can to prevent DJT from running for PotUS in 2024. Just take everything in stride.

McCarthy will get it, he will reach across the isle more often than not.
Republicans will stay home in 2 years, the left will get the house back and more. |
