RINOs who win in general election 100 times better than the demonrat alternative.
Yes because McCarthy can win the seat in general.
That is 100 times better than losing to Democrat in general
Todd Akin
Mourdock
Roy from Alabama
Etc etc all good conservatives but lost to democrats in general.
Wayne and Jason, Educate yourself.
Teapottius tempestuous
So here’s an interesting question. Suppose the GOP wins the House back in November but neither McCarthy or any other Republican can get 216 votes to be elected? Nobody is Speaker and unlike the Senate there is no House equivalent of President Pro Temp. So you have a Constitutionally mandated office with nobody to fill it.
They supported him twice against phony impeachment charges. But you are right, they did not lift a finger to support the theft of the election because they were all too happy to replace him. That’s why the GOP will never receive another penny until it becomes the GOP MAGA.
Freepers warned us for years about mccarthy. Sad that President Trump didn’t see those posts.
No support for the Third Stooge
“Where does Trump say that he wants him to continue leading it?”
He NEVER did. He backed him simply for his re-election and it was misconstrued as an endorsement for speaker.
Well the fact this guy thinks Trump endorsing him for speaker or not creates “chaos” tells you in thr headline what a joke the article is.
House members vote for the speaker. Trump endorsing. Or not endorsing someone for the position doesn’t creat chaos..
Nonsense on its face
“ RINOs who win in general election 100 times better than the demonrat alternative.”
Disagree strongly.
I said a long time ago that Trump was just “USING” McCarthy.
Looks like I was/am correct.

No. They keep voting till somebody is Speaker. From Wikipedia
“If no candidate receives a majority vote, then the roll call is repeated until a speaker is elected. In the longest speaker election in House history, 133 ballots (cast over a two-month period) were needed before representatives chose Nathaniel Banks as their presiding officer for the 34th Congress (1855–1857). Multiple roll calls have been necessary only 14 times since 1789, and not since 1923.”
Correct.
Democrats stab you in the back from across the aisle! RINOs stab you in the back up close when you least expect it.
I have come to believe that that is its purpose.
Chaos? If the GOP is in chaos it wouldn’t be for this reason - haven’t even had the election yet to be voting for who the speaker is let alone knowing who the members are in total that will be making such a decision.
Jim Jordan has no chance to become Speaker anymore than any conservative does. The reason a RINO is always speaker is because it takes 218 votes to win and the average GOP House member is middle of the road.
I suppose a Speaker would be selected eventually. In the mean time the Democrats would do everything they can to make the Republicans look bad.
.
They also wanted to expand Mueller’s investigation and openly promoted unprecedented legislation dictating a President could not fire Mueller.
Most suspect they were advised it was Unconstitutional.
