Nearly every person on FR has at one time or another said Republicans don’t how to fight and have bitterly complained about leadership.

This is what leadership and fighting looks like, McCarthy has limited options, either he gets democrats to vote for him which is highly unlikely, or the hard-core Republicans change their vote which also is highly unlikely.

IOWs, McCarthy has very little or no chance to win, with he backs off for party unity or he drags this out hurting the Republicans.

For whatever reason he can’t get the votes and that’s on him.

“Take the L and go home, Kevin. Lutz is waiting for you.”

His wife, Judy, is waiting at home.

If the gop can’t even pick a leader, why should anyone think they can run the country?

They’ve got until the 23rd when Congress reconvenes to end this 🤡 show and prove they are interested in governing and not petty squabbles for position and power. If they do not, then some will vote for Jefferies who already has 212 votes. Thus signalling the end of the GOP & proving they are a bunch of 🤡s and cannot govern.

“This is just plain stupid and makes the party look ridiculous in the eyes of those that don’t understand the system of government that we embrace.”

Sounds self-contradictory. Is it stupid if those that don’t understand our system are the upset ones?

How embarrassing was the Democrat presidential nomination process???

They had to bribe Bernie to go lay off and hide in his brand new house.. gifted to him.

Stop with the hand wringing. This process is healthy. Don’t shortcut it. Trump can gain some traction here if he plays his cards right.

On the contrary, I think it’s great!!!
It shows the deep state that we conservatives are not going to be pushed around, that we will not go quietly into the night, and we will no longer go along to get along.
Those that think otherwise are not conservative.
They are republiCAN’Ts.
And I despise bush league chamber of commerce worshipping republiCAN’Ts.

“Rep. Mike Gallagher, R-Wis…said “The American people are in charge.”

This guy is a real comedian. He might be able to save SNL.

Most people who vote or claim they do don’t understand our system of government!

Let’s see how bad he wants to be in the history books as Speaker and see if he does the unthinkable and make a deal with Democrats for a sort of Coalition Government, sharing power with them. Hakeem getting the Majority Leaders Post.
