What good was the majority? Was there something that did not go the left’s way?

The effective House majority was lost when the Red Wave fizzled.

Largely McCarthy’s fault.

Kevin is an egomaniac.

He’s behind all of these people quitting.

Having the majority did us no good at all when he was there. So who cares?

He’s the role model.

He didn’t have to quit.

What’s your excuse for all the other times Republicans lost the majority when you weren’t Speaker?

You can thank Lindsey Graham for that.

Bingo! But being the deep state snake he is, he wanted to hurt the Republicans for ousting him after he repeatedly lied and gave in to the Democrats.

Calif. #20 is R+16 and left vacant by an anti-American.

Egomaniacs think they are so great.

If either one ran for Prez they’d get less delegates than Jeb!

Well, somebody’s in charge and coordinating this planned erosion of the majority.

My fear is that if Michael Johnson is removed under the current Motion to Vacate that one or two Fifth Columnist traitors within the Republican caucus will vote for Hakeem Jeffries along with the monolithic Democrats giving him the Speakership.
