A simple majority wins the Speaker's chair Feb. 21. The GOP need to have at least 212 votes to win the Chair from the demonrats. So in reality, the 5 main anti-McCarthy GOPs might not be a factor to prevent McCarthy from winning. He can win the Chair with 213 votes.
The House will keep repeating the vote until Feb. 21. The significant factor here is this 4th vote is unprecedented and really makes McCarthy look bad. The logical thing for McCarthy is to start cutting deals major deals with the Freedom Caucus and allow the Congressional committees to operate in real terms instead of fake pony shows.
Failed to secure the votes for a 4th time! This gives the 'hold-outs' leverage. Make McCarthy sweat a little and capitulate to the hold out members' agenda(s). Let's see how this plays out. This stall tactic could be a chess board play, so to speak...
Strike 4 shouldn't he just walk to his seat and let some else take a swing.
Aw, let the little tyke have another try. ⚾
Kek!
NAHHH!!!! His cranium capacity seems to be full at the moment...One wouldn't want to get wet!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Isn't that the definition of insanity? Doing same thing over and over with the same failed result.
I recently learned that the Speaker of the House can still win the chair with less than 218 votes. The absolute threshold is always 218 votes. However, in the past that threshold has not alwys been reached.

Are all the swamp creatures looking under the tables for more votes? It’s not that kind of election.
Someone explain to me as if I am five years old:
Who is Jeffries, and who is Donalds?
I love it, how embarrassing for the little prick.😁
