Scalise will be a compromise from both sides

The same folks who don’t support McCarthy have gone on record as not supporting Scalise either.

Parliament style.
I wish we'd do Parliament style here. Our reps are too weak, and ultimately all on the same team.

Has the anti-McCarthy contingent put forward a candidate yet?
It’s a totally pointless clown show if they don't actually put up an alternative candidate.
This. All they want to do is burn it down.

Should make for some good YouTube watching later. At work now. Share ‘em if you‘ve got ‘em.

You're the guy that stands to the side and bitches and tells us all that we'll never get this rock up that hill.

You won’t get it up the hill. At least not in embarrassing clown shows like this. Do you not know how Sisyphus’ story goes?

Crenshaw says hard-line McCarthy opponents ‘are enemies now’
How in God's green earth do Texans put this fricker back in office next go-round?
quote:
Crenshaw told CNN’s Manu Raju on Tuesday ahead of the Speakership vote that those dug in against McCarthy will “obviously” not get the committee assignments they want over their defiance, but “it’s going to be so much worse than that.”
“They are enemies now,” he said. “They have made it clear that they prefer a Democrat agenda than a Republican one.”
quote:
“But if you’re a narcissist and you believe that your opinion is so much more than everyone else’s, then you’ll keep going. And you’ll threaten to tear down the team for the benefit of the Democrats just because of your own sense of self-importance,” he said.
He said he and other Republicans will only vote for McCarthy and they are more “stubborn” than their opponents.

I like how Lauren muttering "This is bullshite" under her breath passes for "profanities flying".

I’m enjoying this clown show. I kinda wish the Dems would ask for a secret ballot, nominate and put their votes behind Liz Cheney. Would only need a handful of Republicans to support it. Would be freaking hilarious.

Eyepatch McCain...is a Marxist bitch who fooled a lot of people...including myself unfortunately.

People like Gaetz and Boebert don't know what they want and as a whole are not interested in governing or winning elections. It's all about " look at me!!!"
If you gave Goetz or Roy or for that matter Andy Biggs the job, the Republicans and conservatives go into a permanent majority. Your belief that giving it over to the Democrats so they can tank things and the American public will see the light has to be one of the most stupid strategies. The real world of politics does not work that way. McCarthy as flawed as he is or even Scalise means that sane competent people would be running things. Not showboaters. Gaetz is not responsible enough to run things and neither is Andy Biggs. They just are not. Speaker is a position that requires the office holder to know how to play politics.
