Freakin' Gaetz. What an AH.
So, what is the end-game here? Is a democrat speaker, or one beholden to the democrats, really preferable?
Can't really blame him. It's not like he's gonna get kicked off any committees.
I personally don't care who the speaker is so long as the RULES get fixed so that the speaker cannot be a dictator.
House Speaker election.... Day 3
And that will happen if McCarthy cuts a deal with the democrats? Or if a democrat becomes the speaker?
Oh! Hell no! And I never said it would.
So, at this point, what is more likely: that McCarthy will agree to handcuffs, and all the other demands of the holdouts, or that he will cut a deal with the democrats?
McCarthy won't be able to cut a deal with Democrats. More likely, Democrats will be able to find six other Republicans to support another GOP Rep that they have more dirt on.The bigger question is why McCarthy refuses to cut a deal with Conservatives.
Geatz just voted for Trump
Of course he did. Because it's all just theater and a big joke to him.
Did McCarthy gain a vote from the last time?
