McCarthy likely short of Speaker votes...

[Missourian]

I suspect it's just a matter of time before McCarthy gets the votes.

But it's going to cost him some plum Freedom Caucus assignments I suspect.

I approve.

Jordan speaking nonsense. Cant even summarize without pointing you to gateway pundit. He's pushing virtue signaling vs running the country.

I love this process, McCarthy might end-up with the votes in the end but his power to lord it over the Freedom Caucus as Speaker is going to be greatly diminished.

LOL.....I bet that The Turtle is shittin' razorblades over in the senate.....No more rubber-stamping.

I'm glad Bob Good (R) (VA-5) is fighting the good fight. I sent a EM to my congress critter (Ben Cline VA-6) to join Good but he's pretty much as much of a RINO slag lawyer as his predecessor so I doubt if he will.

Totally nuts.. Jordan is "trying" to move his supporters’ votes to McCarthy, while Biggs is trying to move his supporters’ votes to Jordan.

Quit being a asshole.

This is one of the rare times when we get to see the "sausage being made" in real time.

I'm enjoying the hell out of it all.

Better than those Stalin-type "elections" for Pelosi.

This discombobulated group is who you want to spearhead the legislative agenda? You listen to the speeches... nothing about helping America just grievances. What a joke.

It's a great day in America when people aren't voting for Pelosi as speaker.

• Term limits
• Publicly-funded elections
• Ranked choice voting
• Independent/Bi-partisan Redistricting Commissions
• Open Primaries

.... would at least be a start. Not perfect by any means, but these changes would alter motivations and behaviors pretty quickly.

No one gets it without at least 218 votes ... Representative McCarthy failed to get 218 votes twice ... But no one else has either.
