If I was Gaetz and the 7 or so holdouts, I would sign a pact, hand deliver to Kevin. It should say on the 13th vote, Kevin needs to nominate someone else for all of us to vote on. Or we the seven will vote for Jefferies. We have nothing to lose, they are the same!
That is the most retarded idea I've ever heard. It would be a lose all the way around for Gaetz and the other hold-outs.
Either Kevin calls their bluff and they don't do it, so they won't ever be taken seriously going forward.
Or Kevin calls their bluff and they do do it, and they wouldn't have a chance in hell at standing for reelection. That is the kind of thing that is incredibly easy to tell republican voters about in a negative way, and incredibly difficult to explain to them why it was actually a good move. Then what's left of MAGA would be totally dead.
And if Jeffries gets elected, what does Kevin actually lose? For him, it means ending MAGA, which is exactly what he wants.
Someone needs to Remind the Republican'ts that it was BOTH MAGA AND America First that put them there, and that we don't want McCarthy, so if they want to have JOBS in the 119th Congress, they'll keep him out....
You are probably right, I am just so disgusted with most of our representatives. It seems no matter what, we lose just a little bit more.I think I might refrain from now on, saying much. I appreciate the whole lot of you guys, but sometimes my Irish temper kicks in. Have a great weekend! Jeff

Update, 13th vote and Kevin still lost.
Meanwhile Ashli Babbitt's mom just got arrested outside the Capitol for peacefully matching for her murdered daughter.
They should nominate the mom for one vote.
Wow how long will this go on, any bets? This alone will make him ineffectual as a speaker.
They just adjourned because lack of speaker is the biggest calamity on weekdays only.
Haha! Too bloody right! Just more proof that everything in Congress is political theatre.🙄
Lets see maybe 17 times?
