Yiiikes.

Just read something saying one of the things they wanted was one congressman being able for force a vote of no confidence on the speaker?

I admit, I haven't been following the invide GOP stuff. The gently caress did this guy do to piss them off this bad.

He's kinda so nakedly political that nobody trusts him but it's also significantly not really about him specifically. It's about showing their power as a block, showing that they CAN do this to a potential speaker.

a) let Gaetz & co. run the House with their hands up his rear end,

b) make a deal with the Democrats, or

c) withdraw from the nomination.

Until then, we're all stuck in this demented political groundhog day with them.

:munch:

The thing is I'm not sure A is even actually an option. It seems to me that there's genuinely enough of the HFC who truly want KMC's head on a spike as a demonstration of power that there actually isn't anything sufficient for him to concede to actually get himself elected speaker.
