Democrats are so stupid. Siting there like dumb sheep voting for a guy that can't win. While the other side of the isle is hopelessly divided with 10% unwilling to vote with the 90% majority. Democrats! Vote for the damn guy and get what you want. A split Republican party. Nah! We'll just sit here and wait until they are unified. :rolleyes:

Becasue the media allows the Republicans to look stupid in all reporting on it. And honestly, they are stupid to keep nominating the guy after 8 tries (the last with fewer votes for him than the first).
 
Apparently most of them are on the same "team" regardless if there is D or an R by their name. Kevin has some buddies nominating him drawing water from the same well as he. Most R's are repub in name only, Rinos.
 
What strikes me is how so many are looking at this and calling it a spectacle. Think about that; lawmakers debating and arguing then voting out in the open for all to see is a spectacle.

It's what should be seen on every thing that comes up for consideration on the House floor.

It is a spectacle because this much voting on Speaker has not happened ever. The Republicans had 2 months to come up with a nominee knowing they had to be united for them to win as no Democrat is voting for their nominee. They keep trotting it the same guy over and over even though it is obvious he can't win and doesn't seem to care to win.

Edit:. I was kind of wrong. The last time it was this bad was 1864. So yeah, a spectacle.

Edit2: Now at 10 losses. Worst since 1859.

11 losses and keep putting the dude up thereā€¦.itā€™s a spectacle.

To say Democrats should vote for the dude is the funniest damn thing Iā€™ve read in a long time. As a democrat I donā€™t want any dem not one to vote for that pinhead. Dems arenā€™t responsible for getting the Republican over the finish line. Had two damn months to bring forward a viable Speaker and they still decided to put a dude up that they knew didnā€™t have the votes and wonā€™t have the votes.
 
The Republican Party leadership allowed this to happen. They had 2 months where they knew everyone who needed to be gotten on board with a Speaker. They did not make sure they had the votes, knowing they could only have 4 defectors. They had 19 defectors on the first vote and it has only gone up since then. Why did they nominate him in the first place if they knew he was not going to win? This is their monkey and their circus. Yes, the media drives this. But the Republicans know they already look like idiots to a large section of the US population and this will only make it worse.

I can only hope that Trump takes such a hit from getting into this that he decides not to run in 2024.

You're missing my point.

This is the way it should be happening...

...for it to be considered a "spectacle" goes to show how both bodies have lost their way.

A spectacle was seeing how Mclain just lost it yesterday. "A party of 20 disrupting a conference of 200." (sic) It was a small party of 56ā€”what, 250 years ago almostā€”that stood against a "conference/nation."

You are missing my point. Republicans know they need 218 votes for him to win. They have known they do not have them. Instead of using the last 2 months to actually figure out who can get 218 votes or negotiate so that McCarthy gets them, they have waited until now when they know he doesn't have the votes and won't get them. As far as public debate, there is no real debate going on. They are just voting and voting over and over. This is 100% on the Republicans to get everyone on board with a single candidate. To continue to put McCarthy up there as he slowly loses the support he did have is stupidity.
