Not even hot Democrat lead in his belly could light a conservative fire in Scalise’s belly. He sucks. The worst.

Scalise was the one shot by a leftist at the Congressional Baseball Game, IIRC.

So what? I'm sorry he had to go through that but it doesn't make him Ronald Reagan.

Why do people call this ‘Chaos’ or an ‘embarrassment’ or ‘republican traitors siding with Democrats’ ?

This is how it is supposed to work.

McCarthy is hired based on the promises he made, a few months later he breaks his promises and he is fired.
Two guys want to be his replacement and the republicans in the House choose one, Scalise.
And now all will present a united front when the vote goes to the House floor.

Where is the fault on that? Great job.

These fake headlines really rot. Very misleading.

Hopefully, this will grease the skids for a one-ballot election, and everyone can get back to business.

Yes, we can't have an interruption to the Uniparty's efforts to destroy the country.

I knew Scalise has enough votes from the GOP to get elected to the Speaker of the House list as soon as Tom Massie came out today and announced he would NOT support him. That phony would never have said that if his vote had any impact.

This is the loser who has made a career out of casting “principled conservative” votes against bills that pass by margins of 420 to 5.

But you know that it isn’t.

Yes, my FRiend, and sadly so.

We live in such vulnerable times, and maintaining our thin majority in the House is so very, very critical.

And, acting in unity is so very, very critical.

The view farther down the road eludes many (very fine) folks.

Inevitable now. Perhaps they got him alone and twisted his arm...

Plus, I hate to say this, but he is not a well man and may not last long in that position.

If he can get elected....AND if he is better than McCarthy. There have been so many disappointments.

Wrong. McCarthy was ousted because he cut a secret deal with Biden to keep funding the failed proxy war in Ukraine.

It absolutely not acceptable if Scalise tries to do the same.

They don’t like each other personally, but they’re essentially the same guy politically.

Kevin McCarthy liberty rating: 54% F
Steve Scalise liberty rating: 58% F
