Perhaps that's what happens when you listen to the likes of Frank Luntz instead of looking at what's happening around you.
The republitards have been a bunch of spineless jellyfish for the most part over the last many years. McCarthy is the epitome of a spineless jellyfish.
Yeah, it is disgusting that these RINOs occupy their seats of power but, cannot grow a backbone when they need it most. Only time these RINOs took a stand was in the first impeachment attempt by the Democrats first time out. They looked the other way when it came to protecting the integrity of elections which would have benefit most Republicans. Instead, they hung out President Donald Trump to dry. They let the Democrats commit fraud instead, of supporting investigating serious allegations of election fraud on November 8, 2020. Had they done their jobs, Joe Biden would not be sitting as US President.
As much as I'd enjoy this going on for two years, they're going to have to do stuff like fund the government at some point.
Democrats can actually now have a say in who will be elected speaker. With the vote so tight for McCarthy and him seemingly unable to get 20 or so republicans to vote for him, democrats can begin negotiating to abstain from voting to get McCarthy elected. How they may want to use this I don’t know but it is really a tool the democrats can use.
For every 1 no vote for McCarthy there needs to be 2 democrats that abstain. So right now that would mean 40 democrats abstaining would get McCarthy over the finish line. This would also effectively neuter the House Freedom Caucus.
