I can't wait for whoever they have come up to nominate the counter nominee for the sixth vote to just sit there and rip into McCarthy for 10 more minutes while everyone has to sit there and watch. This is becoming the best part of my day.

Ringo Star Get posted:I just think it’s funny as all hell as they vote and of course McCarthy doesn’t make it, so then they run another right after it? Are they just expecting it to be like some sort of broken computer that if you keep rebooting it, it might work? Why give them a chance to regroup? Keep them out there voting and hating Kevin. They can't swear in a speaker, they can't start up bullshit investigations, and they look dysfunctional as a whole on television all day and night. Wins all around!

Actually we do sit around and wonder "Who is going to be Speaker?" Because it won't be McCarthy. And then we laugh and laugh.

Being as this vote is run by the clerks, and not either side, it may actually close on time. It may be defeated. I don't have a lot of hope, but there is a little.
