You get no better than you vote for and often worse.

19 total votes to a third party. McCarthy didn't even win a plurality. Whoever said he was short around 20 votes was spot on.

Day One.

House Dems are united and ready to get to work.

Complete chaos on the other side of the aisle.

The anti-McCarthy Republicans have absolutely no constituency, except on social media and a few parts of conservative media, who will run away from responsibility in the event that a Democrat becomes Speaker. Already, @RepJeffries
 is on his way to a plurality on the first ballot.

A block of House Republicans should get together with Democrats to pick a speaker to run a coalition government, which will moderate the House and marginalize the extremists.

Actually, in this case it's the "conservatives" doing the snatching.

You know.....

I'm about give up.  My message to all of you  who are supporting McCarthy for Speaker?.....   Well have at it.

I, on the other hand, expect that  you have lost the  right  to bitch about all the upcoming  times that he caves to his dimocratic friends in the spirit of bipartisanship.   The Swamp hence perpetuated.

I wanted a Speaker who would fight back.  Not play nice.
