Never seen someone so Happy to lose...Alligator McCarthy should step aside...

Well at least we got the business of knowing who's bought and paid for out of the way up front this time. That's about the best thing these people have ever done for us. Bless the 20.

Forbes is getting excited. The guy he owns is closer to being speaker.

[Networkputz]

Yet, both still suck and are much more beholden to lobbyists and special interests. How anyone thinks this will end with positive results for the average working Americans is beyond me 😞

[BoomBoomBoom..]

No one from the broken state of California should even think about holding leadership positions.. Total embarrassment to We the People.

[royschrader]

No difference in McCarthy and Jeffries.

I guess it's still going to be the Swamp.

By refusing the speakership, Jim Jordan is dropping the ball.
He will not come out of this unscathed.

[juancolon]

We the American people choose not too except Kevin

[blissedher]

Why do WE keep allowing California and New York to lead the country????

[ChristaFree]

Conservatives will not be happy with McCarthy.

[nooriali]

We the American people want Jim Jordan as the New Speaker of the House

[jnywd]

We should be able to have that many do overs for the Governor of Arizona seat.

So 14 republicans joined McCarthy since yesterday. There was 21 that didn't vote for McCarthy. I was happy that they were standing up for the people and our Constitutional Republic.
I wonder what changed their minds. 🤔💲💰💸

Looks like the swamp is making a comeback.

[Niewis]

What a shame! NO for McCarthy! He doesn't deserve it!!

[EBIRCSBUS]

but mccarthy is getting exposed during every loss he receives from the floor

[RayRiv]

Our Government will never change...politicians will keep working for themselves and not the people damn shame.

The Immortal 20 is down to what, the Immortal 8 now? Boo. The Uniparty is winning regardless, the American people are going to lose either way.

McCarthy most likely will get the job but it's priceless to see him struggle all the way to get it. 😆 bless the 20 rebels👍
