I hear that Hannity and Boebert are tearing each other to pieces on Fox News right now, but I value my sanity too much to give it a check.

A lot of this stuff is on Twitter. I just think most in this topic say stuff like I dont want to hear (insert Republican) speak. Or if I keep posting what they say I might get labelled a Republican. So I stopped.

These are the people holding back GOP from electing a Speaker

All you got to do for quite a few of them is look at their recent tweets for their hot takes like the first guy on that list...

That would be interesting if GOP dont agree today. And the day they end up electing their speaker is on the Jan 6th anniversary.

Ranked Choice Voting in this instance doesn't "solve" anything that requiring only a plurality wouldn't. This is all strategic voting, if a vote against KMC had imminent consequences of Hakeem Jefferies becoming speaker, you wouldn't have 20 people voting against him.

Also most parliamentary systems "require" a majority to be formed through a coalition of parties and once that coalition breaks new elections tend to follow. Which is why it's reasonable to want the speaker to by default be chosen by a majority, because without majority support the Speaker is dramatically limited in what they have the ability to do anyway.

The only "embarrassing" part is that they don't seem to be making *any* deals between votes at all which leads to identical votes.

RCV would eliminate the posturing and protest votes.

The longer this drags out, the worse it looks. Especially for Republicans.

Not that I'm crying for them, at all. The snake is eating it's own tail, and I'm perfectly fine with that.

Looks like Hannity pushed back. So does this mean Fox News hates Trump? I only see Fox News clips when GOP fight each other. Dont know the overall narrative of their network in terms of who they want as Speaker.

Hannity's been shown to lean more towards the old-guard GOP, who are finally starting to get the hint that having the Republican Party taken over by a pack of aggressive and undisciplined morons might not be the best long-term strategy.

Trump wants Mccarthy. So if he becomes speaker doesnt that mean the GOP crowd are falling in line with Trump's wishes.
