        Well, somebody can play REAL hardball. Wanna be Speaker? Go talk to the Dems. If Jeffries can deliver (and I think he can, they have much better cohesion) the bulk of his guys, how many Republicans would it take?

          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                Johnson wins Speakership.

                Now, lets see if he can herd the cats better than McCarthy did.

                    https://www.cnn.com/

                    A key figure in failed efforts to overturn the 2020 election

                    Trump ally Mike Johnson elected speaker three weeks after McCarthy ouster

                    New speaker of the House Mike Johnson once wrote in support of the criminalization of gay sex

                    We could be witnessing the GOP break apart in real time


                    https://www.foxnews.com/

                    From humble roots to the biggest job in the House, meet Speaker Johnson

                    Speaker-elect Mike Johnson says that becoming the next speaker of the House is the "honor of a lifetime."

                    He promised to "ensure the House delivers results and inspires change for the American people."

                      That's a big job for Johnson. You know, it's better than electing Mike Hunt.

                        I hear that Richard Gaziña dropped out early.

                        And Phillip McCracken wasn't interested.

                                Total noob. Of course, early headlines talk about how he doesn’t believe in dinosaurs. Who knows, it’s hard for me to care less about the Speaker tomfoolery.

                                      Just over one month after his unprecedented ouster, former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) unloaded on far-right Republicans who voted to remove him from the speakership, telling CNN the GOP would benefit “tremendously” without Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) in the House and excoriating Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.).
