“Donald is not a House member it has little to do with him”

Seriously? Donald gave his endorsement and encouraged House members to support McCarthy and you think that is of little significance?

MTG sold her soul to McCarthy for plum committee assignments.
(McCarthy pulled her Committee Assignments a year or so ago)
If McCarthy does not win the Speakership on the 1st and 2nd Vote,
Alternatives will emerge. And it won’t be Democrats like Levin and MTG
have been fearmongering about.

He may be the alternative that emerges after the 1st and 2nd Speaker vote.

"We might as well see if Paul Ryan will be Speaker for us again. He was such a swell Joe last time."

Ryan and McCarthy are friends. In November Ryan said: "McCarthy will clinch speakership," and he then went on to blame Trump for the midterm losses. McCarthy and Ryan...two turds who have been floating in the cess pool called Washington, for far too long.

Jim Jordan is my rep.

He’s supporting Kev. He also voted for that lush Boehner over Louie Gohmert.

I don’t understand what goes on in his head sometimes.

Maybe they’re smarter than FREepers who don’t know everything they know.

In reality the only two reps likely to get 218 votes are McCarthy and Scalise.

“In reality the only two reps likely to get 218”

And therein lies the real problem. They can’t get a consensus among republicans due to the moderate turds in the party.

That’s the long and short of it.

It’s not that difficult to understand

The “Freedom Caucus”, in effect dedicated to reforming the Mafia from within.

She's a naive novice floundering in the deep swamp.

And by extension, these so called freedom Caucus members will be equally complicit with every traitorous tactic employed by McTraitor and company.

“Any of em....don’t care who it is...that support this useless UniParty hack, need to be gone with him.”


Trump backs McCarthy for speaker, warns of ‘doomsday’ if GOP doesn’t come together

Maybe she is listening to Trump?

“..Trump backs McCarthy for speaker, warns of ‘doomsday’ if GOP doesn’t come together....”

FWIW, doomsday is already knocking on the GOP’s door after yesterday’s performance.
Those that voted for that monstrosity of BS and kissing Saint. Zelensky’s arse should be immediately kicked out of the party. But no...they’ll be coddled and loved as usual.
McConnell, McCarthy, etc. are all nothing but UniParty hacks. They could have stopped this, but no, they allowed it while giving the People the finger.
Oh, and BTW, Trump has backed many a loser....McCarthy will just be added to the ever-growing list.
Do I sound pissed? You betcha......

No I don’t believe Jim’s a phony. Some of his HR choices suck, just like President Trump’s.

It’s smart for Gaetz and the other 4 to be going after McCarthy in this way. Instead of presenting an alternative that could be attacked, they are waiting to formally block McCarthy first and get him to quit. I don’t know who the alternative will be, but it can’t be much worse than McCarthy. Maybe Scalia?
