I would say a duel between McCarthy and Gaetz is in order.

Lee Zeldin is the perfect center-right Republican who’ll unit all GOP factions.

No good. We need a “far right” Republican who has the stones to face down the ‘rats every chance he gets.

The Freedom Caucus is a heck of a lot more in line with the Republican voters so the idea that they are forcing their ideas on thx party is BS.

You have that exactly right!

You don't have the numbers to elect a "far-right" Republican, whatever the Hell "far-right" means.

Lee Zeldin is a solid conservative who if it wasn't for him and his strong NY showing, the House would still be in Dems hands.

They should have been smart (maybe they were, we’ll see). The next vote should have 22 or 23 vote against...shows momentum

I like Jordan too. But, I don’t like that he voted for McCarthy.

This is ridiculous. This is the Republicans once again defeating themselves after gaining a victory.

The holdouts aren’t doing themselves any favors.

Maybe not, but they’re trying hard to do us a favor.

Why is it ridiculous? This is how the process is supposed to work and frankly the “seamless” transitions have never helped any of us because that just lets the party elites decide who is in charge when its really them - the uniparty GOPe Chamber of Commerce pukes who push for globalism non-stop and spend us into oblivion.

I am cheering. I am not a rabid anti-McCarthy guy (pretty neutral about him) because he will at least respond to pressure from the base (unlike McConnell), but if he can’t do it perhaps we get Jordan. I would love that!

I would actually be excited if we got Jordan and he makes sense because the 20 voting against McCarthy would all support him.

Crossing my fingers.

This is the best news I’ve had in awhile. Shows God is watching over America. Now Lord, perhaps You can arrange for a real conservative to take the Speakers position?

He will win and be vindictive to those who voted against him
Hope I am wrong but doubt it

McCarthy and his sponsor Trump will dish out payback.
