  There are enough Republicans opposing McCarthy to block his nomination, but I bet that melts by Monday. They're Republicans after all, which means they are incredibly susceptible to bribery
context: Calling it now.  They let him vote, he votes for McCarthy, McCarthy slow rolls any inquiry and they tell Fox News this is for the voters to sort out in 2024.  
  They are ALL Santos , he just is the one in the spotlight. >
  
  well, if gets indicted and hopefully convicted for the "monetary discrepencies" that will likely change things . . . >
  
  Not surprising, given the GOP's already slim majority in the House. >
  
  Katko’s “Do they defend someone they know has made several material misstatements about his background? Or do they cut him loose with a razor-thin majority?” Katko added, calling it a “no-win situation.” Is emblematic of the problem. 
  Of course they should cut him loose. What difference does the thickness of the majority make when you’re talking about morals, ethics and fraud?  He defrauded the voters.  It’s not a “no win” to do the right thing, unless you’re in Republican circles where the rule seems to be “do whatever it takes to hold onto power”.  Screw the voters. >
  
  Is Santos Jewish or Catholic?  Gay, bi, or straight?  He admitted he didn’t graduate from college. He doesn’t have the work experience he claimed. He may be a criminal. He might not be a US citizen. He IS a Republican. The conservatives can now shut up about gender. >

  Kevin McCarthy is an invertebrate. >
  
  McCarthy must be prevented from becoming speaker. If he does, I fear an assassination attempt on Biden and Harris. >
  
  With the help of proud domestic terrorist Marjorie Taylor Greene. >
  
  And the Secret Service >
  
  The GOP is so corrupt that every day is a new scandal, a new crime, a new falsehood, something immoral, something dickish, ... It's non-stop wtf. 
  And that's just the people at the top. Their fanbase is a whole other head scratcher. >
  
  Can contact with a putrid dollop of goo really be called crashing? >

  Twenty bucks says he ends up on the Ethics committee >
  
  "Senior GOP strategists are spinning Santos's claim that he can perform 'sick rail grinds' by saying the besieged Republican was misquoted, and that he in fact told reporters he 'believes the American rail industry to be beleaguered with "grinding" regulations."
  "Yes, that should do it," McCarthy told reporters. >
  
  Someone with a spine and ounce of integrity: "Santos is untrustworthy, unethical and not part of the Republican caucus."
  Kevin McCarthy: silence, then watered down diatribe against media and democrats as directed by freedom caucus.
