By making a deal with the Dems...McCarthy just ensured he won't be ousted when he doesn't honor the deal with the 20.

Watch what happens.

Kevin McCarthy publicly has 216 votes for the 10 pm vote tonight.

434 House Members; 1 Democrat vacancy.

If all 434 show up, he needs 218 votes.

He must pick off 2 of 6 HARD NOs below.

If 433 = 217 = 1.

If 431 = 216 = 0.

Will Kevin McCarthy make a deal with House Democrats?

How are they going to spend money without the House concurring? One chamber can't pass any piece of legislation.

And I’m hearing, as of now, 2 of the 6 are switching their votes.

Moderate is just another word for sellout. These people have no opinions or principles. It’s a euphemism for pussy

But . . . But. . .

It’s terrorism not to believe McCarthy

fricking snake is beneath contempt. He is a revolting rodent with a lisp who is ambiguously gay and wears his pants too fricking short

Correct Republicans control the House so going to be difficult in getting anything done

NOW: a senior dem member has shared that moderate Rs have reached out suggesting that if McCarthy wins by making these Freedom Caucus concessions, some moderates will work with Dems to vote down that rules package.
___________________________________

So the Six could also join the Dems in shooting down any rules package that doesn’t make the concessions that they want, right? So, in theory, they still have the leverage even if MCCarthy wins?

What are you talking about? You don’t think there are 8 sellout Crenshaws who will fund Ukraine till your great grandchildren are Chinese slaves and find it unseemly to cross examine the frickhead tyrants who are trying to control your thoughts and have already propagandized 2 generations of fat people who don’t know what gender they are?

Nothing will get done except further ruination and clown world. I loathe Kevin McCarthy to the depths of my soul. He’s disgusting

If this happens, any republicans that still have a spine should switch their vote.

Called this earlier this week - a 'midnight' vote with Dems clinching this for McCarthy. Dems are the only ones that have not complained about the prospect of him as Speaker.

Would not surprise me if they also take a long weekend.

I commented earlier today about Pelosi stammering her way through basic math, while watching CSPAN. She was explaining the math to other Dems in the chamber.

I don't think likely Republican voters are going to go for this at all. I expect Gaetz and others to leave the party, start a new one, and once McCarthy does McCarthy things, look for Trump to join them. There will be a tidal wave of support and money that goes with this new party. I think the GOP is dead by 2024.

If this midnight vote thing actually takes place, we basically have one party and about 100 million independents from now till 2024.

I'll be interested to hear about how Hannity tells his audience that colluding with the Dems had to be done for national security, to keep planes in the air, for grandma's social security check and so forth.

The 20 already won. He was embarrassed and they showed that despite the election results the MAGA wing of the party isn’t going anywhere.

I don’t know what other resolution everyone expected.

If I was a member of the original 20, I would wait to see how many D's are no-shows before voting.

If I had recently flipped, I would flip back if this is the play. That's DC horseshite (as in business as usual).
