Will McCarthy be Vacated from Speakership? Who Will Succeed McCarthy?

Pence weighs in, and i think he nails it too. This is very bad for the GOP leading into primary season.
-
The drumbeat of GOP failure and disorganization continues.

Maybe it helps open the door for a moderate 3rd party option? It could also help galvanize the party against the MAGATS.

That is quite possible.

The MAGATs, as y'all so gleefully call them, are a third, maybe more, of the party.
Go ahead, piss 'em off.

Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

Steve Scalise has also thrown his hat into the ring.
I'm a bit surprised. Steve has cancer.

With all due respect, the more extreme third of the party just went a long way toward assuring that very result.

What was the point of this snippy little action? Good, lord, the GOP needs to stay clear away from this stuff. Now you can say this is a punishment for backing the McCarthy ouster, but why would the Dems not want to help the GOP shoot itself in the foot?

Yeah, I have a hard time with that too. While I respect him a lot, the illness going to get in the way.
I think I'd prefer Jordan.
Jordan is a firebrand. Won't work.

I saw him walking and (barely) talking down a hallway today. He looked frail and dyspneic. Granted, it could be the chemo for his myeloma, but he didn't look too robust.

Have the MAGA folks shown any inclination whatsoever to compromise?
Why should the 70% kowtow to the 30%?
Proud supporter of Plan 2525. Everything you think, do and say will be in the pill you took today.

No need to get snippy. We’re not so far apart, but my way or the highway just doesn’t fly in this nation. This was a tantrum and makes the GOP look unable to govern responsibly. Huge unforced error.

Because without that 30%, you're not getting elected President or getting elected to any national office in many districts or states.
