I’d give anything to have Trump be the speaker. That would be incredible and that would piss off the liberals more than anything which would be great.

they are so stupid. They didn’t even nominate Jim Jordan, but they voted for him. Do they not understand the process? everybody in the house was laughing their ass off with Boebart making a fool of herself once again. Why didn’t she nominate him?ACT II of the Kabuki Theater. Anti- MCCarthy people vote for Jordan, he flips support to McCarthy and we all get home early enough for a $300/head lobbyist dinner.

so true. I wouldn’t mind but the press once again shows what a disaster the republican party is. Course Republicans don’t help themselves.

Absolutely.

He’s got the votes, it was just symbolic that he wouldn’t win on the first ballot.Or the second it appears.

It’s been so satisfying seeing McCarthy be humiliated like this. Just desserts!

McCarthy was caught on Camera laughing after 1st vote.
He may get the last laugh,
But he made history today.
100 Years since a Speaker lost on 1st vote.

100 Years since a Speaker lost on 1st vote. Good start if you want a loser legacy. I'm not very optimistic here.

What might be the end game strat of the no votes?
Concessions from McCarthy?
Are the no voters willing to give the SOTH to the Dems out of spite?

That’s the thing. Andy Biggs was the one nominated as an alternative. All 19 defectors should have rallied around him in Round 1.
To: Extremely Extreme Extremist; All
Yup, Lee Zeldin, Matt Gaetz, or Jim Jordan would be fine with me. Tough, smart, and pro-active.

That’s it “Freedom” caucus, make the GOP match the view you want everyone to have of it - weak; yea, that’s real helpful - NOT.

The GOP is like a dumpster full of garbage that has a few useful items in it that someone tossed out!

I love seeing the McCarthy fanboys making wild prognostications. They sure do love their RINOs. Keep spreading the fear porn fellas. McCarthy is cooked.
To: napscoordinator
You’re no help at all. LOL
To: z3n
he probably needs to do the right thing to make the peace with the whole floor and get the republicans united behind one speaker.

Yeah, right, even if it’s some left wing arsehole who’s the mirror image of that Baltimore Skank that’s finally out of our face!
