    There’s a lot of doubt that Kevin McCarthy will be able to get enough votes to become Speaker. It certainly won’t happen on the first ballot. Already Boboert and MTG are publicly at odds over it.

    Maybe this is worth it’s own thread to watch. One person mentioned is Scalise.

    What I expect is a very public investigation into that....which ends up with no evidence of any kind of wrongdoing...and which probably damages any possible real criminal investigation that could be ongoing by the DOJ/FBI.

    On a complete sidenote...I love the delicious irony of McCarthy (who refused to comply with a congressional subpoena) saying that they are going to use the power of the subpoena to hold the swamp accountable.
     
    Well, well, well - now, I did read that committee assignments are not only his call, but I don’t know personally how it’s done. But why keep this secret?

     
    As Adam Kinzinger stated, McCarthy was going to do whatever he had to do to be elected Speaker.
     
    SFL - can you say in your own words what point you’re trying to make?

    Go right ahead, I will be happy to explain anything to you that you want.

    I don’t know what “force the vote” is and I don’t trust your sources because they are generally poor.

    So can you explain your post or not?

    Yeah sorry, the source isn't as good as David Frum or the Lincoln Project.

    That video is showing the hypocrisy of the Democrats like AOC for criticizing the Republicans for extracting concessions from McCarthy when she and the progressives could have done the same and got a vote for Medicare for all. AOC claimed there was nothing she could have done to force the vote, but that's a lie.

    Criticizing someone for doing something you didn't do is literally the opposite of hypocrisy.

    I do think progressives should have extracted more concessions back in 2020, but what the does a vote on M4A do? It's still never passing the senate. They should have made it clear they had some major redlines, and were going to use there power. It would have put even more pressure on Manchin, and Sinema. Myabe the CTC survives in that scenario.

    Also, what major criticizing do you see from Democrats? They are laughing. What we just witnessed was a gulf of competency between Kevin, and Nancy. These negotiations should/could have been done behind closed doors. It was literally historic in it's buffoonery. You somehow walked away from that with a critique for Democrats?

    Come on SFL.........
