Get the hint McCarthy! Bow out gracefully.

[xgbox]

I'd be lucky to be given 3 tries to accomplish something. When you've failed 11 times, just give up man

[clover]

Someone explain to me why we are wasting time trying to elect a speaker of the house that is clearly not electable, over and over, again?

[GIJoe-nkpt]

We don't want Kevin McCarthy as speaker!

[SouthernYankee]

Well at this point it’s obvious Mcarthy isn’t it let’s make a change!

[joeyanderson]

America can't have a Rino there now, but rather someone like Jim

[GEAE_Denny_L]

Should be like baseball. 3 strikes and you’re out.

[cranberryeater]

Neither McCarthy nor Jeffries are competent to be a speaker. It shouldn’t be a choice of “lesser of two evils”… we can do better than this.

[atumra]

Wtf? Why are they pushing this guy for 12 time? Why? There are no other person the UNITED STATES to do the job? Wtf?

[fretish]

Kevin said “we detect a little bit of movement”. If he means bowel movement, then he is correct.

[jrporter]

It's like peering into an open sewer

[Unpluggedx]

Seriously though, there needs to be a constitutional amendment that prevents this from happening. If you can’t get enough votes for yourself after 3 tries, ya done.

[gsimonin]

Give it up, Kevin. Move On! Where are our patriot leaders???

[brendapalmer]

There Should Be A LAW, IN Reference Too "Electing A Speaker Of The House, Whereby, After Voting 3 Times, And THE NOMINEE CAN'T SECURE THE VOTES REQUIRED, THEN HIS/HER NAME MUST BE "REMOVED FROM CONSIDERATION"
AND REPLACED WITH A MORE QUALIFIED CANDIDATE, WHO HAS THE CONFIDENCE OF THE MAJORITY!"

20 members doing the People's WORK Amen. No Swamp creatures 👏

[joycesteinkeyser]

It is clear, he needs to quit. Pick someone else.

[clyde]

At this point just pick me! I promise not to do anything but start Bagel Fridays up again.

[americantrucker]

If you continue to harass a woman for several days, demanding for her to sleep with you over 12 times you’d be arrested. So trying to force yourself on the entire country is OK? I thought NO MEANS NO….

[lieralamb]

Step back McCarthy. You just don’t make the cut.

[marthell]

This circus shows how incompetent and unwilling the GQP is to govern.
