Supposedly, many democrats were going to skip the floor vote for Speaker, so that Emmer would not need to get 217 votes.

Would House Democrats help the GOP's next speaker candidate?

Despite Aguilar's public comments, multiple sources told ABC News that there were ongoing conversations among House Democrats about what to do if Emmer were unable to get the votes needed for speaker and whether Democrats would make a play to help. While no decision had been made, multiple Democrats had signaled they would be open to helping Emmer by voting "present" or sitting out the vote to make it easier for him to win. It's unclear if that changes now that Emmer is out of the race.

"McCarthy went back on 95% of his promises."

I go to Mr. Google to learn what promises McCarthy broke and it's like finding peas floating in a lake. Do you have a link that reveals his broken promises?

He at least dropped out quickly
and did not let the Demonrat -Hamas party pick our leader .
McCarthy could try to go that route.
Kevin is just a Rat operative .

“Charlie Brown” McCarthy and “Lucy” Pelosi. The “progressives “ must be laughing their asses off at those that believe in ‘bipartisanship’.

Abandoning the Electoral. College is a nonstarter. That’s like praising Socialism.

Those eight folks who voted out McCarthy must be psyched. Think of all the paper they are saving by not writing any bills.

We should be so proud of them.

Throw in a little grace and forgiveness. Seems Donald’s past cannot be allowed to rest.

I don't give a rats ass about honest dems or their help. I want We the People to see conclusively that We were lied to, and that patriots were falsely imprisoned even unto death. Once We are fully aware, heads will roll. And *that* is why *they* don't want the tapes shown. Oh, those tapes will help alright. If they wouldn't help, McCarthy would have released them to keep his seat in a heartbeat. He knows better. It's pretty obvious.

It is good that Emmer is out after the truth about him became known. Now, draft Trump as Speaker for 100 days, impeach Biden and Harris and let Trump save the Country with his dynamic genius.

Think of all the paper they are saving by not writing sending any dollar bills to the Ukraine.

Fixed it for you. I am proud of them.

Republicans nominate a guy who works for mass murderer George Soros and who wants to get rid of the electoral college.

Who DID vote for him? These secret votes shouldn’t be allowed.

“ Our patriots are rotting in a DC jail without having committed a crime or been found guilty of committing a crime. And all that son-of-a-bitch McCarthy had to do to fix it was release the video tapes LIKE HE PROMISED TO DO.”

Well said. That is my biggest gripe about rino McCarthy. He doesn’t care one bit about his party base, or the rule of law, keeping political prisoners helps him pretend to be conservative while supporting the liberal agenda. I hope at some point he wins up the victim of our communist legal system.

“McCarthy just guessed the Gaetz and his small crew were just bluffing about replacing him. He was wrong, and the GOP needs this civil war.”


How many years has it been now that conservatives have been told to “compromise”, “work across the aisle” and “settle” for the political leaders of which Democrats would approve? At least 30 years that I can think of without doing math and remembering all the speakers of the House. (I still think of the 70’s when someone mentions “30 years ago”).

It is way past time that conservatives took a hard stand for their beliefs. The compromises has brought us to the place that girls are having their breasts cut off and college students are cheering for Muslim terrorists.

I’ll not support or vote for appeasement or compromise any longer.
