ChocoboMogALT 10/03/23 5:10:54 PM #48:	It's there a better R choice on the table than McCarthy? I understand why Dems have issues with him, but this seems dangerous. It'll be interesting to see how this affects the reflections of these Republicans. Can't imagine the party will want to keep them. --- "We live in a country Hasire.." ~ yosouf06 REVOLVER STAKE! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v717/ChocoboMog123/AltEisenRChocoboMog.png <cite>ChocoboMogALT posted [p:976456615] in McCarthy i...

Inohira 10/03/23 5:12:43 PM #50:	It's an interesting event since to select a new Speaker you need either MAGA Republicans or Democrats to cave on a compromise, and it seems unlilely for the former group to do so after how they got "burned" by McCarthy. --- 1 line break(s), 121 characters allowed <cite>Inohira posted [p:976456653] in McCarthy i...
