Why all the focus on the 20 GOP holdouts? There are 200 other people who could also change their votes, too. Just go get 20 Democrats to cross the aisle.
NOMINATE LIZ CHENEY!
So pathetic.
Americans want Trump..
The President needs to step in and get these people to work and do their job. If you fail after 3 attempts the person with the most votes should automatically become Speaker. And get to work do the job you were elected to do, not fight amongst each other. Start introducing bills and get going you have already lost an entire week.
Biden can’t tie his own shoes, what makes you think he can fix this?
Is the president doing his own job? You funny man.
Only thing the president steps in, is his diapers.
We don’t have a president
Good, the longer these fools are deadlocked the better. They should demand an end to lobbyists so the People’s representatives are beholden to their constituents again an not their fat cat donors.
at least the Rep. can not blame the Dem.
Imagine being told no 11+ times
He’s going for an even dozen. 😂
Come on dude, quit and let the world move on.
Seriously though, there needs to be a constitutional amendment that prevents this from happening. If you can’t get enough votes for yourself after 3 tries, ya done.
Or maybe just 1 time?
@Junker Jörg I was being generous with 3 lol
I don’t think you people realize what is happening here…. This is called GRID LOCK. There will be no more one side woke bills passed. No more democrat wish list and republican bull crap. Both parties hate you wake up. Grid lock is here
This is what happens when civilization lives without threat from Mongols for centuries
I think McCarthy will eventually get it. BUT I’m VERY surprised that Republicans did/don’t have a back up plan. Some one else to rally behind if McCarthy is not elected. After 3 elections they should have said OK let’s vote for Option number 2 and then 3 and so on. This circus is a Joke.
We need a new House rule. If no one gets the majority after a certain amount of time (or rounds), then the candidate with the most votes win. That will force them to figure it out fast.
Well then Mccarthy would’ve won already. This isn’t mob rule, biggest group dictates everything for everyone else.
Or just do like demonrats worship pelosi
Exactly!!!!
The only way I can see out of this is Kevin McCarthy just needs to step down and stop being selfish do it for the country I’m sorry man it’s just not meant to be, and there are still some Republicans in the house and actually voted for impeachment like David Valadao, Dan Newhouse and Brian Fitzpatrick I wonder what it’ll take for Hakeem Jeffries to get a few of them over to his side whether they be committee chairs or something like that
Mccarthy don’t bring wrong moap Trump criminal records never come my house never never play wrong
ENOUGH 3 strikes Kevin you’re OUT!!!!!!!
We don’t want McCarthy or Jeffries!
Trump speaker of the house👍
That is one determined republicrat
Big picture, this doesn’t even matter. Dems have the Senate and Presidency locked until the next cycle. Nothing other than basic funding keeping the lights on is going to get passed in the next 2 years. Pelosi could still be speaker and it wouldn’t help Dems or hurt Reps in any appreciable way. And while this shows disfunction in the Rep party, the average citizen doesn’t care and won’t remember this in 6 months anyway.
Who is that huge old man who keep telling the clerk what to say so loudly. Master, she knows what to say. Sit down child. Please !
How many rioters got their legal fees paid by Trump 😆
Kevin needs paper ballots and not ones that can be counted by everyone, then let katie hobbs go in a room by herself and let her count them, of course she should burn all the ballots after she is done.
@pdgeman I actually followed the case. So yes, I do know. I bet you think Trump won too. Bunch of crying snowflakes.
@Kevin Bossick Then why can’t you list just 1 finding.
@Kevin Bossick I agree 100% with you. Extremely sad this is how I think. Just something about ballots being the wrong size, people being turned away at some voting stations and Hobbs being over the counting just looks suspicious to me. Very sad, I agree!
@pdgeman one finding of what? All of your election fraud cases are bogus. That is the point. You guys have nothing.
@jon davis except that did not happen. Those ballots with the slightly wrong size did not prevent one person from voting. If you followed the case you would know that. All your claims are bogus. That is why it was dismissed. The judge gave them every opportunity to make their case, and they failed bigly.
Kevin said “we detect a little bit of movement”. If he means bowel movement, then he is correct.
🤪🤣
THAT’S SO FUNNY!
Step back McCarthy. You just don’t make the cut.
He needs to give up 😅 not ment to be.. let the black community have this one 🤷♀️
McCarthy nerds to step down and allow someone else to step in if he cares about the USA people not power
Don’t want Piglosi pt.2!
ANOTHER REPUBLIKLAN CLOWN SHOW TODAY😅😅🤣🤣😁😁😅😅😆😆🤣
America is being destabilized by BIG BUSINESS! This allows them to exploit and profit! They’ve done it globally for yrs!
Republicans wise up or your going to have a Democrat with the gavel, are you listening Matt Gaetz.
Dude literally proving he is literally insane. Step aside. You lost a dozen times. Get over yourself and retire ya egotistical maniac. The left said Trump was arrogant, whats that make this Kevin?
Mccarthy should try Insurrection like Trump to win speakership. Today is January 6th.
GO HOME McCarthy!!!!!!!! Your no good to even be in politics!!!!!!!!
You just have to wonder what the Democrats are doing quietly and out of view, while the whole nation….and a good portion of the world is VERY focused on Congress trying to elect a Speaker of the House….whose hands are tied on doing anything beneficial UNTIL they elect a Speaker. 🤔 I hope SOMEBODY is babysitting the Democrats!!!
Take a hint kevin. We dont want you as speaker ffs 🤡
*points and laughs at repukes*
Pack your bags McCarthy.
Also, this right here… this secret division you are seeing from a party that should have swept the democrats from the midterms is precisely why they didn’t.
This is how they are spending the trust we have placed in them.
This country is gone….nows it’s just a bunch of rich greedy self serving politicians fighting over who gets to extract the most child support payments in the form of tax dollars from taxpayer’s disposable income.
One bird two wings
Isn’t there a quote by Albert Einstein about doing something multiple times the same way and being crazy ?
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over & over but expecting a different result
The definition of insanity!
There Should Be A LAW, IN Reference Too “Electing A Speaker Of The House, Whereby, After Voting 3 Times, And THE NOMINEE CAN’T SECURE THE VOTES REQUIRED, THEN HIS/HER NAME MUST BE “REMOVED FROM CONSIDERATION”
AND REPLACED WITH A MORE QUALIFIED CANDIDATE, WHO HAS THE CONFIDENCE OF THE MAJORITY!”
iNSANITY: Doing The Same Thing Over And Over Again, And Expecting Different Results.
ALBERT EINSTEIN
Who will make this law?
@C met There Is NO LAW Stating That The Speaker Of The House, Has TOO Be Republican. As I Understand It, The Candidate Must Have The Majority; And If That Comes From The Democrats’ Side, What Is The Problem, Since They’re Supposed Too Come Together Collectively, Too Pass Bills, Anyway?
This is how our government works the Democrats are just making a big deal out of it trying to make a show to make Republicans look bad. McCarthy will most likely end up being speaker even though the Republicans clearly do not want him , they are just holding out for concessions.
Ha ha hardliners, just people agenst corrupt traitors
Taking Our Country Back-Who Speaks For You? NOT Kevin M…most LIBERAL Republican there is? See ‘PinballPreparedness’, honest evaluation.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 sad grown folks acting like Children – selfish people only about self – taxes dollars wasted for this – they getting paid for doing nothing
He needs to be stepdown
If he don’t sit his ass down🙄🥴
GOVERNMENTS ALLEGIANCE ISN’T FOR THE PEOPLE? IT’S FOR BIG BUSINESS $ AND JOB INCENTIVES!
I don’t understand why someone else doesn’t step up and run for it. If they aren’t just vote him in because they’re making republicans look like they can’t even vote for someone in there own party.
There is only one party. If you haven’t figured that out by now then you’re in trouble.
Because this is what the new Republicans want. They don’t care about governing. Bunch of amateurs.
kevin isnt a republican
@pdgeman whatever you say Einstein.
@pdgeman welll someone else needs to step up like I said.
Jim Jordan 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Doing the same thing, time after time and expecting a different result is among the definitions of MENTAL ILLNESS!
1,000’s of Republican citizens need to get down to vote and run McCarthy out of town.
This should be a learning opportunity for the American people.
When a person is made speaker of the house, it’s usually because they are the most corrupt politician around. They get the most corporate & lobbyist money & they spread it around their party , basically buying voters.
So the same guy keeps running?
The world is laughing at the stupidity of our so called leader’s I guess they want another puppet for deep state
The fact all they talk about is McCarthy not arriving shows he’s an establishment shill hence why they’re not selecting him. It’s very simple
This isn’t any serving the people. It’s about getting power for his own ambition. He had already occupied the Speakers office. The sheer arrogance this clown has is amazing. He does not serve the People. This is why he can not be allowed to be Speaker.
Just bow out gracefully so congress can move on Kevin, its over…
This shows how disfunction the party is.
It embarrassing to hear the likes of Matt Gaetz vote Trump as speaker! In 2 years, time to vote them out!
What a waste of time…
Kinda sounds like when democrats want to win any election goes on for days a week stretch it as far as you can..
Lets make Trump the speaker
RESIGN McCARTHY you corrupt POS! You know if the pedocrats and media are pushing for him he is BOUGHT OUT CRAP
Anyone, even republican, that wants power this badly without the support of their supppsed peers, has nefarious intentions. Mr Mccarthy needs to stand down.
Wouldn’t this fit under the “filibuster” category?
Dude is playing this like the lottto😂
Step aside stupid!
Him and Mitch need ran outta Washington asap
Just leave Nancy in there and put the final nail in our coffins. McCarthy will be no better for Republican voters. What we want doesn’t matter. I wish I hadn’t bothered voting for Republican control of the house.
Why bother America
How long before you are cognizant enough to realize you aren’t wanted as speaker, and who’s paying you to keep fighting to stall congressional actions?
America need a strong conservative republican for House Speaker and McCarthy is not that person. Jim Jordan is the best candidate for House Speaker.
Trump for speaker
McCarthy get lost. Just elect Jordan, please!!!!!
It’s great to see real democracy at work! It’s great to see our representatives working for a change. This is how our country was founded. There were many discussions and battles going on in the beginning to set up this great nation. People shouldn’t be put in place by a slam dunk vote! This is healthy and right! People just are not used to seeing it! I only hope and pray they get it right for both sides of the aisle! Better than getting paid for making speeches to and empty chamber. That really gets old and disheartening!
If you continue to harass a woman for several days, demanding for her to sleep with you over 12 times you’d be arrested. So trying to force yourself on the entire country is OK? I thought NO MEANS NO….
At one point you gotta admit this just isn’t for you 😂😂😂
We the Citizens battled to get you in office , then you act like a bunch of children wanting and wanting after Macarthy went above and beyond to get a lot of you in there , Then you turn on him like a Democrat that thinks you know something on them ! Get your act together because rite now ,We the people have seen enough of this ou of the party that was in there against us Republicans ! Wanting to leap frog over someone else to get a position , Earn it if you want it , Looks like to me your no better maby worse than any ever to get into office , Black mailing your way to position isn’t a good start,,,,,,,just sayen !
The turning has always been Trump card not a Democrat card
A clear sign of the republican times. He’s not a good fit but the ones voting against him need to bring the right one in with traditional republican values. Not the new values of Trump era politics of no holds barred of how much an asshole you can be to get things done.
That would be Cheney but ain’t gonna happen
Now, at least , congress is earning their pay. Kevin or Jeffries neither one deserves to be speaker. We got rid of one rino don’t need another. Put someone in that will be there for we the people After 11 tries, wouldn’t it sink in that we don’t want Kevin Waste of taxpayers money
this is what happens when you let the ultra-right wing nutjobs, conspiracists and white supremacist’s into your political party, You needed them to hold your power base and now you can’t control them. Hope this is the end of both the republican party and the 2 party system.
Talk about wasting the Tax Payers money and time. No matter who the Republican Speaker is you can just expect Gridlock.
This is horrible.. the people don’t control thit
what happen to three strikes and you’re out?
we dont want you kevin
He is worthless just like Pelosi this country needs change now before the biden administration bankrupts us!
I voted for McCarthy for Calif gov ,but no way should he be third most powerful person in America,no way !!!!!!
Ooh! I got your butthole. How do you even grab a butthole? I don’t know but I’ve got yours. So come on down to target and get 5% off with the red card or something.
Flip a darn coin already!!! Best two out of three wins.
Step down A Hole , you’re NOT wanted , take a friggin hint dude
2035 and still going on
Uhhh , No !
I’m losing count here. TWELVE TIME LOSER? 🤬😆
McCarty is a RINO who sold his soul to lobbyists, Definitely would not make a good Speaker, Trump would be a much better speaker and he is not owned by lobbyists.
They wanted control of the house. They got it. But they can’t even agree on a speaker. For 4 days. When the Gingrich congress took over in the 104th congress they got a whole slew of house rule changes passed in about 16 hours in the first day….like they promised they would during the campaign…
“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” Albert Einstein
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
X-Gearbox, I Totally agree w.ith you. It just doesn’t make any kind of sense, that Kevin McCarthy is BEGGING his Constituents for VOTES for Speaker of the House. Kevin is Really Embarrassing Himself, WHEN NO MEAN NO, PLEASE MOVE ON!.
*McCarthy (R) 214*
*Jeffries (D) 211*
*Kevin Hern (R) 3*
*Jim Jordan (R) 4*
*No other votes were cast for anybody else @ this time.*
*While round 13 gets underway, I’m going to run to RadioShack to purchase a house speaker to present it to Kevin McCarthy.* 😂
