MarSolo Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 The ironic part of all this? It’s another notch on the “everything Trump touches dies” counter. McCarthy was the first Republican to go crawling back to Trump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted October 3, 2023 Author Share Posted October 3, 2023 The closed GOP conference immediately ended because they honestly didn't expect him to not run again. I hope all the pizza they ordered for the conference isn't going to waste though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever you think of these boring white coat racks personally, it IS funny to watch the GOP repeatedly feed what they think is their future leadership to Trump because.....well hell, who even knows why because anymore. He's basically lost them every election since '16. His underperformance in '22 itself is why McCarthy's whole Speakership has an asterisk next to it like a Barry Bonds batting record right up to and including getting ousted by Captain Helmet Hair. I guess because it's easier to win a Republican primary by being a bobblehead. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Air_Delivery Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 My prediction is McCarthy is gonna come crawling to the democrats and will have to make a bunch of concessions and deal with primary consequences later.

5timechamp Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Gaetz will step up to the Speakership.. are the Dems stupid enough to say “do it” just to put him front and center of this mess even at the cost of a guaranteed shutdown… let the populace suffer to highlight incompetence and earn for votes later… I will wait and see if they are seriously dumb enough to propose Trump.. He’s stupid enough to do it if it means he can skip court or put those processes on hold.. If you thought he was rude to the press core Lol.. “Decorum” will fall out of the national lexicon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted October 4, 2023 Author Share Posted October 4, 2023 It's going to be Scalise and I doubt there'll be any opposition within the GOP Caucus: Quote Scalise already starting to line up supporters for a speaker’s bid, per sources. He and his team have been calling members tonight and a number of Republicans have already pledged their support.
