Today is the day. We will see Kevin McCarthy either become Speaker of the House or see a compromise candidate come forward for the second time in less than a decade to take over where McCarthy expected to be.

There has been a lot of ink spilled over the McCarthy vote coming today. One of the more interesting developments came yesterday morning when it turned out there weren’t just five Republicans who were guaranteed “No” votes, but another nine who felt McCarthy hadn’t conceded enough to conservatives – from lowering the threshold for voting to remove a Speaker to allegedly offering to gut the Office of Congressional Ethics.

This is probably one of the most important points that could be brought up, and it’s very indicative of what bothers a lot of conservatives about a McCarthy Speakership – he has been acting like he’s entitled to the job and has really done nothing to actually earn it other than wheel and deal his way to the top.

The entire D.C. establishment – from Republicans to lobbyists – has been preparing for a McCarthy speakership. And there are a lot of people on board with this, including major conservative voices like Mark Levin and Charlie Kirk, along with Congressional conservative favorites like Jim Jordan.

The leading class of Republicans and conservatives have decided that they’ve just got to have a smooth transition to leadership rather than fight to make sure that they use their (slim) majority in the most conservative way possible.

But the work to actually secure the votes didn’t start until very recently. Because he just assumed he would walk ..."

I can no longer be charitable toward McCarthy.

He should have bowed out for the good of the Country and the Party.

Do you ever debate ideas and principles, or are you addicted to finding new ways of humiliating others so they will bash you back?

McCarthy had to be pretty upset, that the Mar-a-Lardo blowjobs didn't automatically award him the Speakership.​

first trump screwed the republicans by his crappy endorsements which resulted in losing the senate and a tiny magin in the house, now they are ignoring his endorsements. lol Maybe republicans have figured out trump is not to be listened to, but we'll see.

After you realise he never had the numbers, which you failed to acknowledge I said just that last week.
Now you're excusing yourself with embarrassment as if you knew different.
