I agree with their nominations being their pick, I guess I fell it's more like, if not McCarthy, who will "all" of them agree on and in the interviews I've seen and heard, they have no answer
I doubt the majority has even posed that question to the 20. It seems like somebody other than McCarthy is off the table.

So how did Jeffries get the democrat role. Was he Nancy's hand picked successor .? Why wouldn't after all the years of being #2 Hoyer would like to be #1. Or is it just more identity politics from the democrats, 1st whatever.
I thought Hoyer had said he was stepping back.

In the old west movies there is always a guy who asks where are his graveyards.

It suggests that the guy is speaking about how fast or how big a bad ass the guy he is speaking of is.
Where are McCarthy's graveyards. What is his record.? As far as i can see he has a record of doing nothing but going along to get along. As Speaker of the House IMO he won't amount to much. he will let the minority run all over him.

Well, he flipped 14. He just needs 3-4. I think he's in. There's no momentum behind the anti-McCarthy vote anymore.

They're over a hundred votes into it and he isn't out yet, this may be the one

Why do we need all of these dems anyways? Why not just have one say "I vote for Jeffries 213 times" it's not like they're not going to vote in lock step.

I seem to remember somebody on Fox saying with the absent members today, the magic number is 217.

They did make their point, though. I wonder if shithead McCarthy has the nads to really punish them like he said he was going to. That alone makes him a NO for the Speaker seat. Now I hate him even worse than I did before because that was a bullshit move.

THIS JUST IN....a box of ballots from "the Distract of washington DC please" from a P.O. Box in China shows Jeffries has 439 votes...

Tucker summed it up in the first 4 minutes of his monologue tonight. McCarthy needs to make at least 2 more concessions- release ALL J6 documents to the public and form a “Frank Church Committee” to look into the FBI‘s influence over our politics and elections over the last 50 years.


And it looks like the Church Committee will be formed

McCarthy reminds me, for those who might remember M*A*S*H, of Frank Burns after Henry Blake left and he thought they would give him the command and then Col Sherman Potter became the commander. "No, it's my speakership, no fair, no fair, no fair, wah, wah, wah." If he was any real leader he would step down and help to broker a deal for someone who everyone can accept.

The republican party is pathetic at this point. I'm hoping that Ron DeSantis will run and put all of these pussies in their place. It's time to stop whining and complaining when things don't go your way and start putting forward conservative policies. Democrats are laughing at them as well they should. Democrats have screwed up the border, allowed runaway inflation, allowed runaway crime, and neutered the stock market! And yet they managed to gain in the Senate and only lose the house by a small margin. It's time to stop looking like a bunch of babies, start putting together a conservative game plan, and stop following past icons who are no longer relevant. Democrats are ripe for the taking, let's not blow this one the way they did the mid-terms.
