How many failed impeachment votes were there on McCarthy's watch?Conservatives bitched at him because he didn't pass more conservative legislation as if he somehow controlled the votes of other House members. He didn't. And I'll keep saying it -- the problem was not McCarthy. The problem was the lack of a conservative majority, and changing Speakers was never going to change that. We got someone who everyone loved initially, until they found out that there wasn't really anything he could do differently because he's just as hamstrung as was McCarthy. Wouldn't make a damn bit of difference if Matt Gaetz himself was the Speaker. I never had an issue with replacing McCarthy. I had a huge issue with replacing him in the middle of his term as Speaker, in the process blowing the best shot we had for meaningful border reform, and looking like a bunch of incompetent boobs. It's now February, and we still haven't passed those appropriations bills from the fiscal year that ended last September because the votes weren't there then, and they're not their now. I mean, the idea that we're still enamored with the idea of passing those things from last year without having done squat for this fiscal year is laughable.Idealism is great. Idealism that isn't tempered by reality is simple foolishness.
