If all the Dems and just a few R’s can oust the speaker, then why can’t all the Dems and just a few R’s elect a RINO speaker? Bottom line is that it’s insane that we would have a shutdown when the vast majority of congressmen/senators think a shutdown would be terrible.

I agree. I think the House Dems should have tried to make it work longer with McCarthy. The alternatives are way more extreme.

We can’t save you from yourselves.


The Democrats voted in a block with the hard right to oust a moderate Republican speaker. The fallout from that will be felt by everyone, not just the hard right.

If anybody could trust that guy farther than they could throw him he wouldn’t have so many problems.

It would also be really dumb because he's not a consensus-maker.


I hate Trump - a lot - and I don't think he's stupid enough to do this.

I read this on the CNN story: "As speaker pro tempore, the Republican can only recess the House, adjourn the chamber and recognize speaker nominations." So how does he have the authority to order this?
