Title: Speaker of the House Predictions Page
Post by: nddons on November 15, 2022, 03:00:57 PM
McCarthy is a snake.

I vote for Jim Jordan or Chip Roy.

Or Marjorie Taylor Green if we want to blow up the entire political landscape.

McCarthy already has the nomination. If he can't garner 218 it could be Pelosi again.

Yep.  It could still be Pelosi.  Or maybe AOC.

He only got 188 votes for the nomination. The Democrats would not have to peel off too many to make it happen.

True, but those Rs that didn't vote for him voted for another R.  In today's environment, except in rare cases, like Romney and Cheney, Rs vote R and Ds vote D.  Especially for something like Speaker of the House.  It's hard to imagine that any R would vote for anyone that would cause Pelosi or one of her proxies to win.

But then again, Rs do tend to do stupid stuff.

Has anyone read McCarthy’s “Commitment with America” issued 6 weeks before the election?  Anyone?  Bueller?  Anyone?   

Did anyone see a Republican run on this Commitment with America?  Anyone?

This is why McCarthy has to lose.

McCarthy rooms with Frank Luntz.   That should tell you something.

With the slim margin, anything is possible.

Here's a thought. A lot has been made about there being no requirement for the Speaker to be a current elected official. Even Trump's name had been floated. Let's say they actually got Cheney elected speaker, that would make her, an unelected private citizen, third in line for the Presidency.

  You are correct, the constitution does not require the Speaker to be a house member or any elected official.

One of the topics that enrage snowflakes, communists, and liberals (I repeat myself) is the idea of the party voting Donald Trump as speaker.

And, that would never happen.
