You can't whip 218 votes AGAINST a sitting speaker while that speaker is in power. The plan was to vacate McCarthy and then whip up the vote and try to win. Gaetz lost absolutely nothing trying.

You can't vacate the speakership with 8 Republicans voting with all the Democrats, then complain when 20 Republicans work with all the Democrats to essentially elect a new Speaker.

Gaetz performed a "Ready, Fire, Aim" and missed.

And you can't complain about the Gaetz 8, which YOU did, when McCarthy worked with Democrats to pass the debt ceiling bill and the CR, right?

Gaetz performed a "Ready, Fire, Aim" and missed.

Gaetz heroically tried to change the GOP leadership that is destroying our country, and he did it with nothing to loose and everything to gain.

You don't like that. I get it.

I am curious how your policies are any different than a democrat, that is what McCarthy represented. He did not release J6 footage, he did not control the budget and he was dragged kicking and screaming into investigated Biden.

I think anyone supporting McCarthy is in the wrong party.

Sorry but people are waking up to the fact people like him are managed opposition.

Follow the money. The CR ends in a month. Thanks to Gaetz who no matter is reasons (true believer vs angry because he couldn’t get out of this ethics charge) executed it poorly.

Jordan by allowing this demonstrates understanding of trying to not let the narrative of victory get snatched to defeat as if the republicans shot themselves so much that funding ran out even the most obtuse of Joe six pack could blame it on the republicans and right at Christmas all the ads about old people not getting checks courtesy of the democrats through Gaetz who is whether intentional or not an assistant democrat at the moment.

Jordan has preserved a heretofore path to salvage this out of.m a sure defeat. Well played.
