Wrong. Getting RINO speaker would be refilling the clown car.

“I hate Republican politicians. Sadly, they are the only alternative to the pure evil that is the Democrat party.”

I wouldn’t vote for a Democrat for dogcatcher. ‘Burn It Down’ is popular with some Freepers, but it’s not going to win any elections. Ufortunately the Dems are the only party with a united front and with a plan for America. It’s a terrible plan, but right now all Republicans can do is virtue signal and stab each other in the back. Trump could well win the election in 2024 and face a Dem Senate and Dem House.

"Need more info."

Hern's not bad at all if you go by his voting record. I like voting record + being outspoken and not being cowed by the media controllers or the GOPe. So I might prefer Byron Donalds more (and someone like Andy Biggs the MOST).

But Hern is good:

Kevin Hern's voting record via ACU (CPAC)

Typical GOP - never gets things done without shooting themselves in the foot.

Check him out. Seems like a different bird than the rest as far as his bio goes. Born on an air force base, studied for PhD in aeronautical engr from GA tech and owned a bunch of McDonalds.

Smart guy and worth a look.

“The Republicans are cementing their reputation of being unable to accomplish anything.”

Because.... they have been infiltrated by leftist @holes pretending to be Republicans. Just like... the Executive Branch has been infiltrated by those same leftists pretending to be “for” America.

100 percent! Between not being able to pick a speaker and not completing a budget (their only mandatory job), they are all pathetic. It’s no wonder the American population only gave them a slim majority. Next year, they will lose majority. This is embarrassing.

Scalise is deep state never Trumper.

You would think that taking a bullet for the sin of playing baseball while Republican would wake him up.

Yeah, he was (not) when he talked like that.

Without House action, there will be no DOD budget, etc.

While some of you see this process as broken, it is actually functioning exactly how the Founders wanted it to work. Leading, in government, shouldn’t be easy (or worse, guaranteed) for any involved. I also think that going through this process can be possibly helpful in healing the divisions in the Pub body.

This, is beginning to look like a painful joke.
Republicans are acting like spoiled teen-aged brats.

To make things even worse, we are now disrespecting our very own internal VOTING procedure! Disrespecting the final results! Scalise got the majority of the votes didn’t he?

The word is at war. Our closest allies are under Islamo-NeoSoviet attack.

And we republicans are infighting endlessly on who will be Speaker. What is this ridiculous mess??

Are we just children in the house?

It’s more likely that.... another stolen election notwithstanding... the GOP will win in a landslide due to the massive FUBAR state of the economy that the Democrats have put us in.

so do you think Scalise will ‘stand firm’ on anything beneficial to the right if he supported (THE ENTIRE TIME) Liz Cheney??? The guy is a total loser

The Scalises of the World have led us to where we are today in deep *hit.

33 plus trillion in the hole just limping along faking conservatism.

“Fort Apache Israel” last weekend was the harbinger of things coming the way of the USA.

President Trump’s leadership and the leadership of those who Mr. Trump trusts like Jim Jordan are essential.

Solid Conservative.

Waiting for some Freeper-whiner to complain about one dubious thing he did in high school in 3,2,1...

Yes you would. Given what he has been through you would think he would understand we are in a war with these America hating traitors. I mean no malice toward him but l don’t want him anywhere near the chair. He went to Traitor Joe’s Inauguration with Donna Brazil while skipping Trump’s farewell speech
