The House of Representatives failed to elect a House Speaker through three rounds of voting. Approximately 20 members of the Republican conference will not vote for Kevin McCarthy, as a result there is a stalemate. The Republican caucus requested adjournment until noon tomorrow, Wednesday January 4th.
Essentially Kevin McCarthy needs to: (1) step aside and accept he will not be Speaker, or (2) continue the House voting in futility, or (3) find a way to convince the Republican holdouts to support him.
“They’re just not into you Kevin”…
This has happened before, just not in the modern political era. The holdouts want Jim Jordan to accept the Speaker position.
Don’t get defrosted, worried or overly attached to any outcome. This is simply the way our system was designed.

So in their haste to derail the “Red Wave” with everything at their disposal, RINO members of the Uniparty find themselves in a position where they’ve unwittingly given great leverage to the select few true MAGA conservatives that comprise that resulting slim majority. And given the unwavering abuse elected MAGA conservatives have continuously suffered at the hands of these shameless traitors, you can count on no backing down. This is what accountability in politics feels like. I wish I could get used to this.
I’m glad MAGA finally has its own “Squad” in the House. Let’s get er done…
I agree, The M-Squad
Lets hope they stay strong and don’t back down. There is a lot of time between now and Wed for them to be bribed to change their votes. MTG needs to tell Kevin to walk away. I am really disappointed in her now.
I believe it is too late for MTG…she was so promising too….she has gone over to the dark side for her share of the filthy lucre
Divorces are expensive.
Maybe all that SWATTING finally got to her. Imagine the “threats” she hasn’t disclosed!
Actually I believe that someone got to MTG and she’s afraid if McCarthy isn’t speaker, then the Democrats will retain control. I believe she’s a smart lady, and she believes more can be accomplished with McCarthy. Maybe better to know what to expect.
At any rate, I believe her heart is in the right place, and she might very well be right in her assessment. For me, however, I am anxious to see change; McCarthy and McConnell out.
My feeling exactly…
Re: MTG, She is following Trump’s lead. Trump came out in support of McCarthy and she followed suit. Jim Jordon did as well.
she’s a sellout!
No. MTG has a rational point of view. I don’t doubt her sincerity at all. MTG has gone though the fire and I don’t think she is a sellout. She and the Freediom Caucus got McCarthy to make rule changes and she thinks that was a deal maker. He can be Speaker.
I love Jordan. He is also great on committees, investigating wrong doing. I don’t really have a dog in this fight, but I would say Mitch McConnell has ruined the Republican reputaion with the base for ever. McCarthy pays the price for it.
Think about a second MAGA party…that would no doubt caucus with the GOPe in the initial phases. It would be leverage on steroids at grass roots district level.
If McCarthy is smart he will set aside. But since when do RINOs have any smarts or common sense.
McCarthy won’t step aside until his boyfriend Frank Luntz tells him to
I don’t think it is a loverboy situation. McCarthy had a pretty public affair with Renee Elmers in her first term.
.
Not ‘smarts’ or ‘common sense’…it’s called honor.
Don’t hold your breath.
VERY few in all of DC possess
Common Sense
Honor
Ethics
Compassion
Empathy
Sense of Duty
feel free to add to the list
Integrity
Passion
True love of his/her (yes, only 2 genders!) country
Frugality, non-islamophilia, non-xenophilia….and an overriding urge to get the heck out of Washington after your first elected term is up and never want to return to that Bureaucratic Borborgymi!
Integrity
Morality
Sincerity
Loyalty
Steadfastness
Devotion to their Oath of Office
Fear of the people
But Jordan got up there and spouted a bunch of BS about what we need to do. Well, yes, agreed. And McCarthy is not worth a damn for those things
He has always been all talk and nothing else.
He’s got ‘First chair’ in the cow-bell section on the republican side of the well choreographed orchestra of the two-party dog and pony show.
Is Jordan another Rooster Head bought by Google, or MAGA?
That’s why we want him to be SOH, so we can test his bona fides, like Pelosi would say, “We have pass it to see what’s in it” So let’s put Jordan’s feet to the fire to match his rhetoric. Like the phony Rooster Head.
He’s talked the talk for 6-7 years. Now walk no matter what assignment you accept.
Used to be proud of Jordan but I’m just not feeling it anymore.
Steve, I am not sure about whether Jim Jordan was talking about McCarthy or about what he would do should he become speaker…signaling maybe, and at the same time possibly gaining votes from McCarthy’s side (because of his support on the floor for McCarthy) should McCarthy lose out.
Who knows what any of them are strategically planning? Maybe Jordan got a call from President Trump to join his endorsement. I’m just guessing. These are amazing times.
You are being reasonable. None of us know what is going on and yet so many here are denouncing MTG. She has done a great job and for people to be so quick to denounce her is disheartening.
This is the biggest problem with Republicans: always letting the perfect get in the way of the good.
This is why the DemonRats are so successful with their treachery. They couldn’t care less.
All they want is money and power. Period.
Jim Jordan’s speech was interesting in that he talked about fiscal responsibility and investigating for the people who brought them to DC. He said very little if anything about McCarthy. It was a great speech without mentioning McCarthy except to nominate him.
Every good thespian has their lines to read.
hearings hearings hearings
is there an option that restores president 45?
That would be the third selector setting
Another data point — 45 endorsed Kevin McCarthy.
Yea, that was a head-desk moment. WTF?!
Well yes, OnPoint. On the surface that is definitely a reasonable reaction.
But I think POTUS was thinking strategically when he endorsed McCarthy. Ever heard the old saying, “Better the devil you know than the one you don’t.” ?? ( The one that sneaks up behind you and bites you in the a** when you’re not looking!)
Try out this scenario ‘fer instance… The Speaker doesn’t need to be a member of Congress. So say someone volunteers Liz Cheney. All the Dems and a bunch of Rinos vote her in. Now, there’s a horror story for you! And it could happen. Yikes.
Don’t forget PDJT. Tone-deaf.
Trump’s blind spot is people judgment.
True. His policies are great. Personnel, however,….
Heck, put me in charge. I can sense the loser potential appointees out of a stack of their CVs just by the stench. I also have a very long memory. ( I remember when Nadler was a mere husky 175 lbs) I just need a rubbber stamp that says “OH F%$#K NO!!!!!” (and a 55 gal drum of red ink). All candidates would be polygraphed and trailed by my PI friends so see if they are even remotely thinking that they are going to get income by writing a tell-all book or think this job is just a stepping stone. No nonsense professionals above age 45 with private employment history or small business experience who just want to the get the job done efficiently, quietly, forcefully, and go back home when duty is done (and no weird nannies, divorces, bimbos, wokey kids, tax improprieties, sex scandals, drug scandals). No Bushites. No McCainites. Nobody from UTAH or Massachusetts. No Ivy Leaguers unless they played tough sports and stayed out of wokery. No lawyers if possible and none from Yale or Harvard Stanford etc… No weird haircuts or luggage fetishes. No weird haircolor or PTL-perfectly combed coifs (a la John Edwards or Trent Lott). No devotees of certain holeeee booook. When do I start. I will pay my own way, no need to waste taxpayer money and start a peer pressure movement to turn down a salary or pension.
Idk, bro…..?
You’re apparently still listening to Hannity….
WHAT PRESIDENT TRUMP SAID:
“I think it’s a very dangerous game that’s being played,” Trump said.
“It’s a very dangerous game. Some bad things could happen. Look, we had Boehner and he was a strange person but we ended up with Paul Ryan who was ten times worse. Paul Ryan was an incompetent speaker. I think he goes down as the worst speaker in history.
We took [out] Boehner—and a group of people, some of whom are the same, and they’re very good friends of mine. All those people are very good friends of mine.”
[…] ““Think of it—we ended up with Paul Ryan. Boehner was like Winston Churchill compared to Paul Ryan,” Trump said.
“Boehner wasn’t perfect—nobody’s perfect—but Paul Ryan was a disaster for the Republican Party. That’s what we got. Now we have to live with him. He’s destroying Fox and he’s destroying the New York Post. We got to live with this maniac. This guy, Paul Ryan, couldn’t have gotten elected in his own area of Wisconsin.
I went with him after I won the election and we had a tremendous crowd of people and they booed him off the stage. You remember that? They booed him off the stage. This guy is now telling Fox what to do.”
[…] “Look, I think this: Kevin has worked very hard,” Trump said.
“He is just—it’s been exhausting. If you think, he’s been all over. I think he deserves the shot. Hopefully he’s going to be very strong and going to be very good and he’s going to do what everybody wants.”
[…] “Now, I’m friendly with a lot of those people who are against Kevin. I think almost every one of them are very much inclined toward Trump, and me toward them.
But I have to tell them, and I have told them, you’re playing a very dangerous game,” Trump said.
“You could end up with the worse situation. I don’t even want to say what it is, but I could tell you it’s a worse situation. You could end up with some very bad situations. I use the Boehner to Paul Ryan example. You understand what I’m saying? It could be a doomsday scenario. It could be. You could end up with somebody who would be a disaster like Paul Ryan was.”
This was MTG’s concern, too.
Just like Mitch….. and Paul RINO…. and Romney…….
I love Trump but I’m not sure I understand him.
I’m not so sure I understand Trump either. However, I’ve been thinking about his endorsing of McCarthy. Is it possible that Trump gave Mccarthy a Godfather kiss on the cheek?
Trump has heard the audio of McCarthy stabbing him in the back over January 6. The stolen election has consumed Trump. Add the obvious backstabbing of Trump endorsed candidates in the 2022 election by McCarthy. Trump has to know McCarthy is not his friend.
Who does the swamp hate the most? Trump and MAGA. Would Trump’s endorsement help or hurt McCarthy with the swamp? Trump knows the true MAGA congressmen won’t vote for McCarthy. His endorsement damages McCarthy with the swamp and flushes out true MAGA.
Or maybe I’m giving him too much credit. I dunno.
You might have something there.
Kevin always publicly supported Trump. Trump believes he can count on McCarthy. I think this rush to judgement on MTG is short-sighted and unproductive.
Let’s see what happens on 6 Jan at the Supreme Court. But, I wouldn’t hold my breath.
Yea all in 4Freedom…72 hours is a long time to hold your breath and for what? The SC does NOT have the courage or sense of Constitutional Responsibility to hear the case. It will be summarily dismissed. I am praying it will make it past the usual Friday 5:00’ish media drop but I just don’t see it.
New alright. You sound like a Troll. Try to think a little more positively. It will help us all. You, too.
Robert Barnes has been adamant that SCOTUS will not take the case. He says that the clerks are overwhelming helpful to the people who are trying to get their cases filed correctly. That doesn’t mean the case will go any farther.
I still say these people should be put in a ring and Duke it out, or maybe guns at high noon.
Hickory stick has been used before… whatever it takes. So sick of these RINOs
A swiss cheesed flat brick wall would work nicely
There ya go.
Good one MoPar2020!!
Nicolae Ceausescu had a wall…..
Or mud wrestle.
[Luntz is starting to drool and pant….]
🤣
And sweat.
My money is on Jim Jordon. (if they duke it out)
Would contacting our Reps pushing to elect Jordan help in any way?
Why not? It only takes a second and you will probably just talk to an answering machine and the staff will tell them how many called. I say thank you to anyone that can call.
mine is voting for Jeffries unfortunately 🙁
Mine is also voting for Jeffries. Veronica Escobar, the female Beto, I’m sure she is proud of my compliment.
Poor you… She is a real nasty POS.
How does that help the country?
I doubt it. My “reps” are Dems and are solidly voting for Jeffries. And my so-called Repub senator voted in the newest SCOTUS member – you know, the one who was unable to define what is a woman.
To all of you living in conservative States, please remember to thank God that you do.
How many rounds of votes can they do?
Unlimited.
Thank you
Rather like “How criminal can the FBI get?”
Is there a limit on the number of times an individual can be nominated? Some are reporting so.
most so far is 133 rounds until they got a majority vote
Until when?
Charlie Kirk is floating the possibility that RINOs will make a deal with Democrats to make Liz Cheney the speaker. It would only take 6 votes and the RINOs would do it in a heartbeat.
That would definitely be the end of the Republican Party.
Now that you mention it…
yeah and that is bad in what way?
In the way that thousands of activist volunteers new to the party have been working for over a year to get establishment leadership OUT, and you want to just dump on them. I can tell that you are not an active volunteer because if you were you would know that 60-70% of activists are fed up, want change, and are nearly there.
They do not appreciate you.
The end of the republican party came when they did not fight to upend the election fraud of 2020.
Yep
This is what Trump meant when he said we might get someone worse than McCarthy.
Even so, they would be wearing a D – NOT lying and pretending to be an R!
Lol. Who could be worse than a fraud like McCarthy?
SMH.
Cheney.
And MTG as well.
I have a hard time believing this post of yours, Merkin. I’m not calling you Shirley, but Surely you jest
A Dem plus RINO alliance gives them the votes to do it.
So be it. Burn it all down.
You might want to look up the definition of “merkin.”
well we have seen in the last few months Kirk and his TPUSA organization are really faux MAGA anyway so his soft skirting on any strong stand against the Uniparty is expected
Charlie KirkXX is a bought GOPe………. the fact that he is repeating the GOPe’s talking points shouldn’t surprise anyone.
Old Yeller Levin, too.
you are on a roll today
Charlie Kirk does have a sense of humor.
It was a bold threat, but cutting off their own noses to spite our faces would backfire like they’ve never seen before.
If all of the regulars here will pardon my interruption of the subject being discussed here, please bear with me. I’m trying to flush out a Fed/troll that’s been posting frequently here, particularly yesterday.

IMO McCarthy needs to barter with the holdouts so that they’ll vote for him. I would love to see Jordan as Speaker but Jordan won’t have enough votes this session. If McCarthy is presenting himself as a leader of the GOP in the House then he needs to act like one. Make the necessary deals to get this thing done and move on with real business.”
That’s the one DanQ.
Can not miss the deliberate, sedate, pattern of writing and pretense of Great Wisdom and Deep Thought.
This commenter reminds me of my very elderly sister in law who takes herself and her opinion of every thing very seriously and believes herself and her opinion to be of great importance to the whole wide freakin world and the family and every one else alive can not live without her.
She speaks often and slowly and with some kind of great self importance and we have all learned to just ignore her.
I usually just scroll right on past this “fka Serena” who might in fact BE my self important sister in law.
Ignoring these kinds of people gets easier the more you do it.
Geez, I thought I was the only one who felt that way. Thanks!
Yea, that was brutal yesterday. Just couldn’t understand normal thinking…what is fka anyway?
Formerly known as, I’m guessing.
formerly known as
Conclave rules: No one leaves till someone is elected. That’ll get it done.
I would lock the chamber doors and for good measure throw in some knives, clubs, chains, etc. to shorten the “debate”
And laxative laced chocolates and diuretic laced drinks.
They could stage a sit-in like Pelosi has done for gun-control.
I’m all for them voting every day on this for the next two years. Nothing is better than more laws from this dens of thieves.
Maybe the patriot MAGA Republicans should say this is our price for 19 Senate GOPrick RINOrats voting for a $1.7T bill so the house can’t vote for a budget for 1 year. So, we will vote this way until we can vote on a budget.
Yes, I know the demonrats could have voted anyway 51-50, but the GOPrick RINOrats didn’t even try.
IMO McCarthy needs to barter with the holdouts so that they’ll vote for him. I would love to see Jordan as Speaker but Jordan won’t have enough votes this session. If McCarthy is presenting himself as a leader of the GOP in the House then he needs to act like one. Make the necessary deals to get this thing done and move on with real business.
Im fine with them having failed votes all day everyday day….it’s the best scenario to minimize further damages by the swamp. Shut it down.
How many business owners who finally started their own company or were finally in the black but were destroyed by COVID shutdowns and lost their fortunes and drive in life had the same sympathetic press pay attention to them on same level as they care about that “ever-deserving Kevin” did not get his post for 24 hours???
IMO, your opinion is no better here than it was on the clot shot thread.
And yet, she has every right to express them.
You seem to be looking for a fight here. I hope you’d stop.
At this point any promise McCarthy makes is worthless. He shouldn’t have to be backed into a corner.
One cannot fail at taking out the king, because the king’s vengeance is unmerciful.
The rebels would be completely stupid at this point forward to cave to McFail.
Nope, now’s the time to bail on RINO McCarthy IMO.
He hasn’t seen the light or all of a sudden turned into a conservative.
He’s McConnell light.
On camera. In public.
The Democrat motto: “Leave everything worse than when you found it.”
Alternate Democrat motto: “Do unto others, then split.”
We peasants who watch from below will patiently wait for the white smoke to emerge from the chimney.
(Sorry…I forgot this is not the Vatican as a new Pope is elected).
So sick of this garbage. And Rob Wittman voted RINO AGAIN.
Ok playing the Democrat game here.. Who is that black guy from FL.
He voted against McCarthy in the third round and was on TV talking about
it.. Nominate him and vote for him then the Republicans can vote in
the first BLACK speaker of the house…
👍
Byron Donalds — represents SW FL (Naples, Fort Myers, Cape Coral area)
Byron Donalds
that only provides virtue signaling for your own team and it doesn’t get any votes or respect from the other side
Not really, it would put the no voters in a position to be labelled as racist on both sides of the aisle, and they never like those optics.
Byron Donalds is the FL. Congressman
I like this. Any breath of fresh air.
When the GOP base votes and it takes frigging WEEKS to learn the results of their vote, the Rinos yawn and dont lift a finger. But the base is supposed to super care if Kevin ‘s coronation is delayed ? 😂😂😂
Wrestle him for it, Jim!
One fall, no time limit.
Saw a tweet that said a man named Jeff Miller is behind McCarthy. He is a lobbyist, worked for Apple and Amazon. Could become “most powerful unelected man” in DC. NO UNELECTED PERSON SHOULD HAVE ANY POWER. This garbage is driving me insane.
McCarthy is a purple tie RINO. If Republicans choose him they deserve to go out of business.
Maybe I’m in the throes of Abused Conservative Syndrome. I imagine McCarthy cooking up a deal with Jeffries whereby they “share” the gavel. A few Democrats sensing blood in the water, prostitute themselves and vote for McCarthy. Back room deals are being made even as we type here together this evening. Put nothing past McCarthy. He’s desperate.
Why not just make a deal with the hold-outs instead?
Because McCarthy is a dem.
as Jeffries is an “election denier” could he just not honor such an agreement as if no election had been held? (rhetorical question)
if the gavel could be shared, speaker and co speaker, this vote would be quick
It let’s all of the marauders know we’re here and not only are we not going away, we’re coming for ya’ll.
These 20 republicans are showing us the way forward. Just imagine what 30-40 Third Party MAGA representatives could accomplish if they hold together and vote as a block.
How many MAGA candidates were “taken out” in the Primaries the avoid just that…
The republican primaries will be irrelevant. Focus on the 30 or 40 MAGA districts that voted 70% + for Donald Trump in 2016 and 2020 the republicans can nominate whoever they want. It won’t make a difference.
Curiously, they are still unconcerned that their antics might be alienating the teeming masses leading to a loss of control of the type that led to some historical uprisings that involved hangings and things.
Makes me think they have many people on the payroll to advise them on what the temperment of the masses at any given time so they know exactly where the line is.
Obviously, they know that they have absolute control over the media and the people are programmed to sit and absorb it every evening but it seems that at some point enough people would realize that the politicians aren’t the least bit concerned about what OUR opinion might be.
If a realization is happening, it’s going so slow that they feel quite securely that they have nothing to be concerned about.
I would be shocked if more than 20% of the voters are aware there is a soh election today.
Super majority in this country are totally oblivious, so there will be the same “maga wave” in 2024 /s
ididn’tknow
Congress’ approval rating is in the sewer. Can’t go any lower. Showing a spine will make a greater difference.
I’m sorry Kevin. It’s not you, it’s me. Actually, no, it’s you.
The pompous florid Jeffries upvotes are a joke. If SNL was still funny they could provide inspiration.
This now looks like a race. The MAGA insurgents need to detach enough votes from McCarthy at the outset tomorrow to eliminate a Democrat-RINO coalition that would love to hand the Speaker’s gavel to Liz Cheney. The Neocons will bend heaven and earth to prevent anyone from auditing the Ukrainian books, and Cheney is their darling du jour.
Excellent observation, sir! I really enjoy ypur posts and observations. Thank you.
Well I like the situation, they find themselves in! The Rinocrats that is!
Where do we go where is this going how do we get back to normal. We are not make any money doing this. This should be easy, look at the DemonRats, they put their corrupt shill in with no problem.
Number 4, get some DemonRats ( with Piggotloose’s approval and the assurance that election can be rigged ) to vote McCarthy.
Jim Jordan is wearing a suit. He — or someone — must be getting serious about it.

Anyone notice a young boy walking around on House floor today, wearing suit and sneakers? Also, drinking a beverage.
Why is he allowed there.
Might have been a House Page. They like them young.
Hmmm…well, he was very young. And it just didn’t give professional appearance.
A horrible cesspool for a child to be in.
His dad or mom must be a freshman rep who was supposed to be sworn in today.
One rep had his baby there.
Thanks. This is encouraging to know it’s not a “regular” happening!
Anyone else have this feeling that Hakeem Jeffries is gonna be the next speaker
If he does the Republican Party is ok with that. As long as they control the Party.
It would be their political suicide.
I agree.
How can that Be?? Jeffries is DemScum? GOP has the majority senators.
There’s that two-party thinkin’ again.
And this is what President Trump referred to as worst-case scenario. Would you put it past the RINO’s ? of course not.
Defund the RNC
You CAN’T “defund the RNC). It’s not a group that is subject to the voters.
No, not at all
Yea, we need someone whose first name is “Hakeem” to run the House of Representatives…just like Hussein in the presidency. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion…ain’t it great!
Anyone recall the notion “melting pot” where one becomes an American?
Hope MTG has her tree trimmer harness on; she is way out on that Kevin limb.
with all business in the chamber, even the swearing-in of members, halted until a speaker is chosen.”
===========
so everybody is voting without any oath to ” allegiate ”’ the constitution?
The new normal?
Following procedure is apparently passé. See also the lack of a proper budget process for decades.
Bingo.
Why is the deep state so desperate to keep Jim Jordan from heading the House intelligence committee is the question that needs to be answered; the rest is just kabuki. Sorry but someone is desperate to get Congressman Jordan out of the way.
If someone could be so kind as to remind me in what year did the last congressional investigation result in someone guilty going to prison? I’m sure its happened, but I can’t remember it. So why does Jordon think he would really make any difference on an investigation? Seems to me it’s just more TV time and nothing will happen.
Jim Jordan is supposed to become the head of the House Judiciary committee, not intelligence.
One reason that Kevin should not become Speaker is that Mike Rogers is set to become the head of the House intelligence committee. I don’t even like to see Mike Rogers as a congressman, period. He is an overbearing swampster.
Thanks; got the two committees mixed up; Judiciary is important, we want justices that aren’t woke-minded since Judges these days seem to be making laws quicker than congress does.
Republicans Dan Crenshaw and Michael Lawler ranted on T.V. about how selfish the “holdouts” are. Discrediting publicly members of your own party is NOT what you do. Those two, along with McCarthy, should be hashing out their differences privately trying to bring the party together. That’s what leadership is, and none of the 3 are displaying it!
They can dream on….
This will get sorted out by repubs.
I hope McCarthy doesn’t try to make a deal with dems though.
Has Kirk got anything right yet?
Bought-and-paid for RINO
Answer: No
No, and a House coalition is next to impossible.
All it would take to have a House coalition would be for the Speaker to elevate some Democrat committee ranking members to chairmen.
Trying to scare the rabble back in line.
Republicans – snatching defeat out of the hands of victory. Sounds about where we’re at right now.
What ever happens, this block of 20 actual Republicans need to hang together going forward.
I think Jim Jordan is perfect for the Speaker position. He has one foot in either side; he is solid; he is from Ohio which is at this point a Republcan state. He will be fair to both sides of the debate. I am a born and bred Ohion and he is so typical Ohio native. Why do we have a speaker and proposed speaker from California. California does not represent the country at all. I hope Jim keeps getting votes..he is perfect for this moment in time.
Not really. He reminds me of Trey Gowdy. Lots of talk.
Need a speaker who isn’t a current congressman. Someone not beholden to anyone who will instruct America on what’s really gone on and going on.
Jordan is the reps Pitbull, he knows how to get answers, and he wants off his chain so he can go after some fresh meat in his current position ! He doesn’t want to be speaker. Just like Paul Ryan didn’t want to be Speaker. Chip Roy would be good.

🚨BREAKING: President Trump no longer explicitly endorsing Kevin McCarthy for Speaker
The crack in the damn just ruptured and is now turning into a flood
Trump is about ten years late.
Or that was his intention, to expose the RINOS.
No…please no more 4D chess crap. He just realized (finally) his base is in full revolt.
I hope this holdout is really about principle and not something else. I would believe the only way for McCarthy to get enough votes is to agree to compromise with the holdouts. But will he?
Speaker Jim Banks has a nice ring to it.
Kev and his Jr. minions can pound sand.
I guess we know now that the 20 holdouts didnt get any UKR monies.
Derrick Evans
@DerrickEvans_WV
Remember, McCarthy could get the votes if he agrees to 4 requests from Freedom Caucus.
1. Balanced budget
2. Fair Tax Act
3. Texas Border Plan
4. Term Limits
Some of you want him to be speaker when he is opposed to these things? Seriously?
Don’t Budge! Hold The Line! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
4:50 PM · Jan 3, 2023
I think McCarthy will be elected speaker with some Dem help. Th uniparty will protect it’s own.
Ironically be’d probably grant them legislative concessions for their votes -as opposed to the requests from his own party
Wouldn’t be surprised. Jordan scares them. McCarthy is harmless.
TRUTH President Trump
There is so much unnecessary turmoil in the Republican Party, in large part do to people like the Old Broken Crow, Mitch McConnell, his “wife”, Coco Chow, who is a sellout to China, and their RINO allies, who make it difficult for everyone else by constantly capitulating to Hopeless Joe Biden and the Democrats. The 1.7 Trillion Dollar Green New Deal “booster” that McConnell and the RINOS handed to the Dems last week was a real downer and embarrassment to Republicans!
https://truthsocial.com/users/realDonaldTrump/statuses/109628095735391441
Stripped the House of any real power. That’s one reason I don’t care who becomes the Speaker.
RINOs against real Conservatives and their voters. No suprise on that front. At least these 20 have a spine.
I hope the holdouts stand their ground but win or lose I fear McCarthy will not work to help the country. If he wins he’ll probably undermine the great patriot reps who opposed him and if he loses, he’ll undermine the entire GOP delegation. It’s all about him.
Cant the GOP just vote for McCarty and give him a warning that he must toe the line or they will elect another??? By then-depending on how McCarthy performs, the maj of GOP senators will have a better consensus.
A very strongly worded warning?
Is this a joke? I mean seriously…….you can’t be serious?
