I don't know, kinda looks like a clown show to me. Those 20 are showing the other 200 they think they are more important than them. I don't think any of the options for speaker is better than the other, but I'm ready for them to at least start the useless investigations. Need to get on with it and vote in McCarthy b/c the next option will be to change the rules to a simple majority and then those 20 won't have a choice unless they want a democrat to be speaker and they would look pretty damn stupid then.

So you would be ok with the 90% telling you ( if you’re in the 10% that disagrees) to “sit down and shut up and vote the way we want you too”? That’s basically what’s happening here.


No, they could keep voting however they like and end up with a democrat speaker or I guess this can drag on for weeks, maybe months, until McCarthy bows out, that will really win over some voters. This is politics and the republicans are horrible at it. I get what they're doing, trust me I understand...but you think nominating someone just b/c they are black is the best thing to do? Clown show.
