  Strange. Nancy Pelosi never had this problem. Guess we know who's a stronger better leader.
context: Kevin McCarthy is aweak leader
  He doesn't  have an ideology except his own advancement. >
  
  That & stop any progression by democrats >
  
  Yeah but in reality they need the Dems for their boogie man charade, they want* to have a ~50/50 landscape so they can keep getting elected and making money. >
  
  This guy gets it. 👏
  I am beginning to wonder if politics and professional wrestling have alot more in common than most realize....
  This could all potentially be "keyfabe" in wrestling vanacular. >
  
  If he doesn’t have the votes, apparently the house keeps voting till someone is speaker.
  The question is, how long and who?
  I don’t even know at this point. McCarthy will probably get it, but then promptly lose a short while later due to his 5 voter threshold.
  There is a reason the past couple republicans house speakers quit early and tell of how hell it is. >
  
  Yupperz >
  
  Dems and moderate GOP leaders should vote in a moderate while the extremists engage in their slap fight. >
  
  
  moderate GOP leaders
  
  Are there any left in the House? >
  
  Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t that a key aspect of the Speaker’s job? Knowing who’s leaning which way, gaining consensus, reading the room?  This is kinda funny. >
  
  Yeah, if it does happen(the 1st vote not deciding it) It'd be the 1st time since 1923 & the ensuing chaos would not be a good look for a party that's fighting a perception of a weakening party. The far right of the party is really screwing him. >
  
  Imo he stopped being a moderate the moment he sided with Trump over the law and common decency. The man is very clearly an official far right winger now, and even they don't really like him. A man who has no obvious principles can only be trusted so far, in any circle that is good advice.
  Mccarthy screwed himself good, he is the fall guy now. He sold his soul and now he wants his price, the speakership, and it just might not happen. All these people prove they are not leaders, they don't care about making America great, never did. They just want that fast and easy money, no oversight in anything because "wah my freedom!" and NOBODY to have insured rights save the wealthy of course. >
  
  Yeah, & the scary thing is as conservative & Grumpy as he is, The House Freedom Caucus doesn't see him as conservative enough. >
  
  Honestly pre-trump I actually did consider him a moderate and somewhat sensible republican. Of course, alot of current sitting Republicans fit that bill as well. >
  
  He's already agreed to a concession to a rule change that would allow a snap vote to re-vote on Speaker if only five people want a new Speaker.
  If he somehow wins, he probably won't last long. >
  
  Yeah, it's wild, just read a detailed article about his concessions. If he does win, he'll be very weakened. I think if he doesn't bow to the conservative agenda he'll be ousted. It'd be scary to have an even more conservative speaker, I think it will only perpetuate the party's move to the far right. >
  
  Its not the conservative agenda hes having to make concessions too.  Its the far right. >
  
  True true >
  
  Fun to watch Kevin eat a bag of dicks.
