Am I the only one curious what deals Kevin has struck behind the scenes that will only pay off once he's speaker?

He sure is stubborn on this.

Everyone should watch this video. Boebert lays everything out with Michael Knowles. I don't think anything changes until McCarthy steps aside.

That was awesome. McCarthy is unworthy to hold office. Someone else has to be elected Speaker.

One of the issues that I've seen mentioned is that the members of 20 won't give him the vote until his concessions are on paper. They're not trusting his word because his word is worth nothing. They don't trust him

Stellar interview. She does a great job of laying out the case of why McCarthy buried his chance

Posted this in another thread, but thought I'd bring it here too:
I live in McCarthy's district. I voted for him, for lack of a better alternative. Kevin doesn't understand what the "Represent" part of representative means. He only represents 1, and that is himself. He will do whatever it takes to climb the ladder. He is McConnell lite.

Those saying they don't trust his word, are wise. I hope there is enough resistance to get him to step down, but I also don't think his ego will allow him to do that.
I would prefer a different speaker (Scalise, Jordan, etc). For a couple reasons:
1) The party and house needs better leadership and rules.
2) It would send a clear sign to McConnell and his cronies (Cornyn included) that their time is up. It would create a pathway to a much needed change of leadership in the senate.

Deleting tweet, doesn't appear accurate. Liberty score can still be found below.

This article sums of the feeling of many friends and family:

Republicans, under the status quo, punch harder to the right than the left. That is something those claiming we need to give McCarthy the speakership, no questions asked, don't care to consider: it is impossible to issue a meaningful challenge to the left under these conditions. It's also deeply ironic that the same people clutching their pearls at a few wily officeholders insist that they are all that prevents Republicans from ushering in Armageddon upon the "Biden regime," if only Mad Dog McCarthy would be unleashed.

So true. They can't even keep their own BS straight.

Isn't it beautiful watching our representative democracy work as intended? Twenty brave people standing up to the entrenched establishment saying "Enough of this **** already." We got moved to McCaul's district this time around. Mr. War Machine Swamp Daddy. At least for a few hours I've got to imagine them telling him "Enough of this **** already." Those that didn't stand with those 20 have been exposed for the liars and hypocrites they are.

I'm not a big Mccarthy fan, but it looks like that link shows different than that list as to how he voted on some items.

Specifically? I scanned through it all prior to posting. Thought the tweet was fairly accurate.

Now it's saying network error. But, unless I was reading it wrong, I believe it said he voted against the gay marriage bill and against DC being 51st state.

Matt gaetz, Sebastian gorka and the my pillow guy can't be the face of this effort if the group of 20 hope to be seen as anything other than clowns.

While the tweet itself appears to be inaccurate, the link quoted shouldn't inspire much confidence in any conservatives. It speaks for itself.

Lol it doesn't "appear to be" inaccurate. She's straight up lying for clicks/engagement. And people here will continue to fall for this crap if you don't do just a tiny bit of research if something seems unbelievable on the surface.

The people who created that page seem to think republicans should automatically vote no on every single bill that goes forward. Might sound fun in principle, and I'm sure people like Boebert who are only doing this to get famous enjoy that, but (in my opinion) not a practical way to govern in the real world.
