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. |

Quoted: How dare people demand bills be read before being voted on. Those lunatics demanding that are crazy!!!! It is the Freedom Caucus not voting for McCarthy because he is not doing anything that they have asked for. The Freedom Caucus is pushing a rules change proposal that would require all legislation to go through committee and be public for more than 72 hours before being voted on. The group also is pushing for a ban on bills being tied together and passed en bloc.

Sounds appropriate to me, give us time to weigh in, give them time to take stock rather than just voting how leadership tells them to. |

Quoted: He's right on impeachment. Impeaching a President with zero hope of having the votes to convict in the Senate is retarded, impotent, grandstanding. Investigate the fuck out of him, but sending articles of impeachment to the Senate that have no chance of being approved is dumb. It was dumb when the Republicans did it to Slick Willy, it was dumb when the Dems did it to Trump.

Gridlock is preferable when the status quo has only gotten us to where we are.
They could do this for 2 years and we wouldn't be any worse off than we are now. Probably be better off. |

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. |

Clyde and Crenshaw among others have not voted. Waiting for the recall at the end to make a splash?
Something is in motion. Could be a wave of "Present" votes is incoming. Or no-votes. Many empty seats right now. Not sure of the process since there shouldn't be a whip in place to get those absent back to the chamber. 100 years since this has happened, I hope there's some procedure in place to deal with it. |

C-SPAN confirms, McCarthy appears to not have the votes.
Sixth speaker vote expected. |

Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Trump is, and always has been, very quid-pro-quo. He backs, endorses or promotes people with the expectation that they will owe him and will reciprocate when he needs it. Someone with no power, no authority - nothing to give him he doesn't already have - is of little use to him, no matter their value to the country or party. He probably needs to let the people he's promoting know that... I guarantee he makes sure they know. Doesn't seem to have been working out for him... he's probably got several sets of cutlery in his back by now. |

McCarthy is status quo, why is the GOP afraid to try something new for once, like an actual conservative?

Well..that sealed it for me on Trump with him supporting McCarthy.

View Quote Don’t see voting “present” is going to work out. If Republicans vote present or don’t vote, that means McCarthy loses this votes. If all Dems vote for their guy, then you have a Dem speaker again. If Dems start voting present or not voting to get the total to win down, that will piss off a number of Republicans who will swap their vote from McCarthy to the other Republican candidate. Either way McCarthy loses, and no speaker. If some republicans are waiting until the end to vote, it’s to see if the Dems start playing the present/no vote game. |
