            Now here comes blame the Democrats and hang bipartisanship. Why would they want to prevent the GOP from shooting itself in the foot going into an election cycle? The frog and the scorpion.

                      I think that second one dates back to the interminable voting in January.

                            House Republicans left their meeting Monday night still unclear on how quickly the chamber could elect a new speaker. Reps. Jim Jordan and Steve Scalise are vying for the position, but some members said they were holding out hope for former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to be reinstated to his old job after his historic ouster last week.

                              I think McCarthy returning is not out of the question. If neither Scalise nor Jordan can get 218, you could see him coming back. Potentially with a deal with a few dems.

                              I wouldn’t call it likely, just not out of the question.

                                Could have saved himself and the country a lot of trouble had he cut a deal a few Democrats the first time around.

                                  They are not the only one. Even a lot of his colleagues of his party agree.

                                  “Matt Gaetz is frankly a vile person,” Representative Mike Lawler told CNN’s Manu Raju late Monday. “He’s not somebody who’s willing to work as a team. He stands up there, he grandstands, he lies directly to folks.”

                                  Representative Derrick Van Orden told Raju that he won’t support either of the new candidates for speaker “until we deal with the fact that we have people in our conference who could shut this House down on a whim again.”

                                  Representative Don Bacon accused the eight anti-McCarthy voters of having “kicked us in the shins really bad.”
                                  “They don’t support our party, and it’s all about media clicks,” he told CNN.

                                  Representative Tom Cole, who chairs the House Rules Committee, suggested raising the threshold for the motion to vacate. “I think it’s time to take the sharp knives away from the children,” he told Axios.
