    McCarthy needs to talk to the house Dems to override the maga wing. He has the votes to bypass the asshole wing of the party, he just has to have the stones to go against the trump wing to get the job done.

    But this is McCarthy we’re talking about, so competently doing his job isn’t even on the list of possibilities. He’d be unable to pour piss out of a boot unless the maga wing told him to check the heel for instructions.

      Part of his concessions when he was gathering votes to become speaker was that any member of his caucus could trigger a vote to boot him. So if he did try to work with dems, we’d get yet another round of speaker voting. I just wish there were a handful of gop reps who’d cross the aisle and vote for a dem speaker.

        If he were to work with the Dems on real issues, I would bet they’d be willing to vote for him for speaker when maga tried that. Especially if it pissed off the maga wing and ripped away some of the hold the crazy fucks have over the Republican party.
