His a$$. McCarthy clearly doesn't have the votes. He was out there this morning with a harebrained idea that 11 of the 20 would vote for him and the other 9 would abstain from voting. He has no strategy and is just grasping at straws. His only path forward is a deal with Jeffries, or to drop out.

Wanna bet he has the votes? This is reality TV. Fake and manufactured nonsense.

If he has the votes, then why is he seeking a motion to adjourn the House for the day?

Does a reality show only air for one episode? Nah, gin up the fake nonsense and theater for an entire season.

So your theory is the Republicans all got together and decided to make themselves look like a bunch of incompetent fools for....what exactly?

It all distills down to posturing and ATTENTION. They thrive on it and you're giving it to them. It's all nonsense.

A criminal from Florida. Not sure if he’s a felon: bank fraud conviction.

A Black Florida man congressman so that the GOP can claim that they aren't racist, which by nominating him shows how utterly racist they are.

a married dude with 3 kids -- but don't judge him by his black skin but by the content of his character (to thunderous applause)

second term congressman with a few criminal convictions. But he's black, so republicans think that will make him a popular candidate

OMGoodness. a convict? That's fantastic and so on-brand.

His record was expunged because he’s apparently the right kind of black guy to serve the political needs of the Tea Party in Florida.

I'm not sure why they love it when I laugh at them, but I'm happy to oblige!

Roy even quoted the I Have a Dream speech during his nomination.

I have to ask again: is there really NO R caucus a tiny bit left of McCarthy? No backdoor negotiations trying to find one? What is Gaetz' end game?

I wish they had a live voting tally on the screen to see how many votes each person has.

Well, at least it didn't involve kids.
