Looks like Matt Gaetz got set-up by the Democrats.

That’s what usually happens when you have the most votes. Everyone must eventually yield to reality.

Pelosi and Jeffries will very quickly eat McHenry alive.

McCarthy fights 15 rounds for Speakership
Jim Jordan quits after 2 rounds (with no one else in sight)
We have no real fighters on our side.
No wonder they easily get rolled by the RATs.

In Jordan’s defense he wants another vote three months from now. In addition to making life a living hell for the 22 Rinos who opposed Jordan , that will also give time for people who step up to primary the RINO 22 . 3 months to build up enough of a war chest to become a credible primary threat. Organize now to take down those corrupt 22. Especially so if your voting process has not become corrupted yet.

I don't know if this will pass the constitutional test. Why require a Speaker if the members can pass a resolution creating a half-Speaker?
If they "empower" McHenry, then that takes the pressure off of them to choose a Speaker. We don't need a Continuing Resolution Speaker, we need a constitutionally-defined Speaker of the House.
It's time for the Republicans to do their constitutional duty and choose one, and not waste energy trying to bypass the Constitution.

Actually, the Republican majority in the US House of Representatives did not accept the conservative minority attempt to replace the Speaker of the House who lost a no confidence vote.
The entire majority are not Rinos, in fact they are Republicans

To all here; is McHenry really worse than McCarthy was or an equivalent? He fills the spot whole we put our house in order.
Change my mind!?
To: JonPreston
This was probably always the deep state backup plan. Or maybe it was always the plan.

By the rebublican.
No one wants the job. No one working for the people. Jordan has never expressed interest in the job. He’s all talk like Trey gowdy
What has he ever done?

No person ever becomes leader of the House or Senate without the approval of the US Chamber of Commerce.
- The USCOC will never approve a candidate that doesn't support Ukraine.
- MAGA voters are fed up with Ukraine.
- Wall Street and Global Corporations are lobbying hard for an unending flow of money and munitions to Ukraine.
- Conservatives in Congress (say they) oppose sending more aid to Ukraine.
If you don't know which side will prevail, you haven't been paying attention.

We need our own party. The GOP will never implement MAGA policies. NEVER. The GOP hates MAGA, MAGA doesn’t need the GOP. Face facts.
