1. McHenry gets the power to bring legislation to keep the social security checks printed and the arsenal of democracy humming along.
2. A moderate GOP member is elected in a grand coaltion that shares power with both parties We all hold hands and sing Kumbayah.
3. 4 GOP members tap out or switch sides and we get speaker Jeffries.
My guess is #1.

At noon next Saturday the bus leaves for Jax for a tailgate party for UGA/Florida game.

Refresh my memory. How did McCarthy get the position without the Geatz Kamikazes voting for him?
I'm very sure Gaetz wouldn't lie about trying to get an ethics investigation of his deeds with underaged girls ended, now would he?BusterAg said:Think Blue talking point speculation. Useful idiot type of information.Rapier108 said:

I think it's a good thing since it makes the GOP the majority party as opposed to the minority party when the Dems control the Senate and POTUS.
The GOP is never going to be 100% homogenous far right. And if it does get like that it will become irrelevant...
BTW, it's not those "establishment Republicans" that are making the party non functional right now.

And the continued focus on 2020 doesn't help the GOP much with anyone but the hardcore base, so his views there may make the "GOPe" hesitant to put him up as the face of the ENTIRE GOP.
But, I love how if you're not MAGA then you're GOPe/RINO/CM...
