Bannon spoke the quiet part out loud today
WHY NOT TRUMP?
He said let's get Trump in as Speaker. Think maybe that was the plan all along? It's what Killary and Co. feared the most. Maybe Trump supported McCarthy knowing he didn't have the votes to be speaker and took advantage of the optics. Would Trump have the votes? If not, he'd sure see who was truly against him in 2024. Imagine if Trump was Speaker and quarterbacked his core MAGA to investigate Biden and Kamala. Enough would be uncovered rather quickly that they would have to step aside and Trump steps into the WH as third in line to Presidency.
All this might sound far fetched but after the last 2 years, nothing would surprise me.
To demonstrate what a weakling McCarthy is and embarrass him over and over. Maybe it will go to 17 votes, and then they'll switch gears?
I doubt it. I think it's inevitable McCarthy gets the votes eventually. Maybe not today but eventually.
What makes you think that?
The threat of Trump being nominated might make democrats vote for McCarthy.
After all, McCarthy won't investigate Hunter or the people involved in the coups against President Trump or push through any MAGA bills.

Yea, that's not what happened
The math just doesn't add up for anyone but McCarthy
It doesn't add up for McCarthy to win either. If he is this ineffective to start with, he's not going to be effective as speaker. He needs to withdraw his name from consideration and put his own nomination to rest. That is, if he want to do what's right for the country, which is doubtful.
BTW: That's not my down vote. I appreciate your opinion and respect it.
you can down vote me all you want but tell me how I'm wrong? The 20 who are holding out will eventually peel off based on pressure they get from the rest of the republican party and the right wing media. Look at how Boebert was crucified by Hannity last night for what they are doing. Eventually they will be forced to either vote McCarthy or vote present.
