I asked Rep. Mike Rogers if he threatened that members who voted against McCarthy would he tossed off committees.
“I didn’t threaten them, I promised them and that’s a difference.”
This is what happens when the opposition jumps to the microphones without a plan ---- they end up further behind.
The negotiations should have stayed as private as possible within the Caucus. Here's a strategy that may have worked --- if the goal was truly to secure a strong conservative voice and not to strut and humiliate.
I would have worked for the these changes in exchange for a McCarthy Speakership and a united front:
- The ability to remove the Speaker
- Guaranteed number of conservatives on each committee
- Guaranteed number of conservative seats at the agenda setting table
-. Rules changes for guaranteed time to review and debate proposed legislation
-. A conservative liaison with the Senate
