 just voted against the Motion to Vacate @SpeakerMcCarthy
.

Another sell out. She was originally against McCarthy being speaker in January. Now she’s caved again…

Maybe she was late for a movie.

Maybe the republicans should relearn the lessons they used to know under Reagan about how to get things accomplished legislatively.  Hint:  it has nothing to do with making bombastic empty threats, grandstanding, or demanding all-or-nothing.

But yet you are missing the key element, trustworthiness.

Off topic, but on Fox RDS has claimed Trump has spent $25M specifically attacking him.  I was wonder how much Tumpy would fleece and waste on this attack.  I hope his donors are happy.

No, that's the look of a woman staring at a man with real courage.

How does that take courage?

Instead of being a minor, relatively junior member of Congress, he's now a far more well known leader of a faction within the House.  Even if more people hate him, so what?  As long as he's the darling of a certain segment of voters, he'll be able to raise tons of money and try to use it as a springboard.

Purely in terms of his personal fortunes, it's incredibly self-serving.  That doesn't take courage.

Cruz has taken similar approaches in his senate tenure, maybe not as nuclear as this but.....

I guess I will be the sore thumb, Go Gaetz, teach the RINOs that they can be supplanted. Yes, I wish there was someone up to take the reins.... no I am not a fan of disrupting without a plan of solid leadership in reserve, but right now, I want the message out... no more lying RINOs thinking they are above being called out.

But, since nobody else is going to kow-tow to his bullying, he's going to blow it all up instead and hand the reins back to the democrats.  Please explain to us how having the democrats back in charge is going to do anything positive for future generations?

It's very nice that that is his stated intention, but his actions are not putting that into practice.

So your saying there is no one in Pub leadership that can be trusted to keep their word?

Instead of submitting to all the Establishment Loyalists in the Pub party he is willing to fight and say no.

Not really sure that grandstanding in a suit while you have a bunch of fans tell you how wonderful you are, and you suddenly become much more important and powerful than you were before constitutes "fighting", but opinions differ, I suppose.

Maybe if the liars are called out more often they wouldn't be so quick to be backstabbing liars.

I've heard Liz Cheney was trying to convince Democrats to nominate her for Speaker of the House.

What an embarrassment. Move on!

I take no lecture from those who would grovel and bend knee for the lobbyists and special interests who own our leadership, hollow out this town, and borrow against the future of our future generations.

I respect him for that. Because he's right.

I understand why Republicans don't agree with Gaetz's strategy and timing.

But also: at some point, most of us have figured out that our "leadership" has been playing us for suckers for a long, long time now.

Definitely passing.  The only question is the margin at this point.
