The Democrats screwed up the Speaker vote in classic Pelosi fashion
PATRIOTS IN CONTROL
They should've let McCarthy win in the first round or two. They should've let enough votes to slide over to McCarthy in order to (1) send the (dishonest) signal that they are collaborative, (2) try to get a favor or two in return, and (3) keep the Freedom Caucus from getting representation on committees and rules changes that together will make it impossible for the Dems to get anything done in the House for two years.
Once again, the Dems crapped all over an opportunity. What morons.
Pardon me fren but your post reads to me like you're disappointed the dems didn't take up with McCarthy. What exactly do you want "the dems to get done"? What opportunities do you see that they "crapped all over".
I think the situation played out as it was supposed to. I quite enjoyed the show and feel that the "church committee" that Matt got could be very important. Holding McCarthy's (I don't trust him, but that's inconsequential here) feet to the fire, for the country to see his desperation to become speaker, may work in our favor as time goes on. Perhaps my reading comprehension is off tonight. .....
