[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If this drags on into the weekend, I have to believe the Democrats will try and get with the moderate Republicans and put forward a consensus candidate.

Honestly, I think this government might function better if we do have a coalition government in the house[/quote]

I don't think this happens until/unless the pro-McCarthy faction switches to another candidate like Scalise and that candidate also cannot get votes from the hold-outs.  It may take a couple of these before it begins to dawn on them that no one will ever be acceptable to them.  [/quote]

Short of nominating one of their own, is there a way to appease them? I was thinking they just want a scalp, but if Scalise is also not acceptable, then that theory is out the door.[/quote]

Don't know and it appears the pro-McCarthy faction doesn't know either.  It seems like McCarthy has agreed to every demand they've made and they are still voting against him.  It's possible it's just a personality issue so Scalise or someone else may be able to break the logjam.  But I've seen a number of the HFC saying they'll vote against Scalise too.  Who knows.  They're crazy and crazy doesn't make sense.[/quote]

Boebert said yesterday that no one currently in leadership positions are acceptable to her. I don't know if she speaks only for herself with that statement or if the other extremists agree with her. I think they particularly want to embarrass and keep McCarthy out, but they seem to want to burn the house down. She keeps saying she's happy that they're doing good for constituents by preventing money from being spent, which further illustrates how dumb she is and/or how much she's willing to lie with a straight face to back up her incorrect point of view.[/quote]
