First the Jan 6th televised hearings and now this Speaker marathon.

Too delicious. I hope it really brings home to people that they should stay away from Republicans. The Hearings cost the right the mid-terms. Maybe this, and the continued Republicans in-fighting, will seal the deal for a blue wave in 2024.

Did McCarthy lose another vote to "present" this round? The vote trackers are showing one less vote overall.

Last time it took 2 months for the dissolution of the party. This time? Things move faster now, fwiw.

Is the GOP, as we know it, dead yet? Do you think Liz Cheney and others will start a third party and let Trump have the present GOP?

Neither of them are or ever will be famous. They are notorious. Huge difference.

Gaetz, qualifies for infamous.

Not at all. No one will remember him 100 years from now. He's but a gnat on the body politic. He won't ever amount to anything important, good or bad.

I hope the staff at the congress get paid by the hour. this has got to be tiring for them. what a joke ( or as pp above stated - circus)

I say they should nominate Santa Claus. It's as likely as McCarthy.

The Democrats have a perfectly good leader that they're behind. The Republicans can nominate whoever they want. This circus, these monkeys, it's all on them.

you know - I was thinking in Jeffries' whole life he hasn't heard his name mentioned aloud this often. Seriously.

Gaetz went to the Dems side, probably to discuss whether they’ll join forces to force another vote tonight.

If I'm Jeffries, I would say no adjournment (unless R's have approached to cross the aisle).

I've read all he wants is the gavel. someone in his family should've gotten him one from Amazon for xmas.

the reporters are camped outside of the Speaker's office. He has to slink by there every time he needs to squat in space.

Of course, not! Once he loses more than 4 votes, he's toast.
