It is time. It is time for new leadership of the U.S. House of Representatives.
People are thrilled that Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s reign of Leftist extremism is ending. The question is whether we will be treated to the status quo that will move us along the same path, though perhaps more slowly.

Sigh. I fear deep state is just too powerful to let that happen. Don’t need mail in ballots for this one..
He gotta a whoppin 30 votes. A long way to go to 218.
I think McCarthy will do a good job. Who else even wants the job?
Is everyone aware that the Dems could conceivably elect a speaker from their party if the peel off a few Republican votes? I think the Republicans need to get their sh-t together.
I like Andy Biggs - but he should have run for Mark Kelly’s Senate seat. He has street cred with MAGA voters and enough support from non-MAGA Republicans to have taken that seat away.
With our luck, that is exactly what would happen.
The only House to be led by the losing party. Cripes..
Agree the democrats are doing their best to get their guy in.
Agree the democrats are doing their best to get their guy in.
That seems to be a persistent theme from the 2022 midterm election - unelectable candidates.
What decent person wants to run for office anymore?
The media will try to ruin your life.
They’ll make up “news” if you’re clean.
As I am told by friends who work in politics, you play by the rules currently in place and seek to get a majority wherein you can then update the rules. I tell them that’s like me saying if I practice enough I can bat .300 in MLB.
This guy Biggs doesn’t have the votes. The only Republican even close to having the votes is McCarthy, and the alternative is someone the Democrats help pick. I’m no fan of McCarthy, but he has has at least promised to remove Ilhan Omar and Eric Swalwell from their committee posts. It’s either McCarthy or someone worse - the choice needs to be McCarthy.
Better start taking steroids, lift weights, and do cocaine during games…
Look — if the non-McCarthy people have more than a dozen votes, call me. Beyond that, they’ve got rhetoric in one hand and (feces) in another.
They will use this to either 1) gain attention and votes back home or 2) get McCarthy to get them something in a bill somewhere that will give them attention and votes.
Harsh reality... about 50 Reps run everything in the House. If they’re not part of those 50, then they have trouble getting a dog to bite them if they break up a dog fight.
This is sort of like holding your nose to vote for McStain or Romney in 2008 and 2012.
mccarthy will win
the magas are just making him earn their vote
If you shoot at the king you better not miss.

The Dems are going to take advantage of GOP infighting. This is stupid. McCarthy needs a unanimous vote.
