Swamp Creatures are ONLY concerned about themselves and their own re-elections. They have no real interest in We The People, unless by supporting a particular issue they can squeeze something in it for themselves. Look no further than all the PORK that gets added to Bills to appease different political factions for their support of a Bill. If this wasn't so ... Why do so many people in Congress on a pay of $174K/year eventually leave Washington with Millions??? We are being Fleeced and have been Fleeced for years. Eventually the dam will break and things will change. May be sooner than we all think(?)
I don't think McCarthy is a bad guy, but the reason he is not already speaker and has not been elected, is that people do not think he will actually fight for them when the chips are down. The time for nice people who raise funds then give the other side everything they want, is over.
They've already lost the first year by letting the omnibus bill pass. They gave up the power of the purse, and Pelosi for all intents and purposes, remains in power until next year's budget.
McCarthy needs to convince people he's a fighter or he doesn't need the gavel.
A unique opportunity for a small group to influence a large group exists. The Speaker needs 218 votes and only the Republicans have at least 218 votes. The small group is reportedly more conservative and want concessions or they aren't voting for an Old Horse named McCarthy. Public appearance be damned. Concede or step aside.
This is why I left the GOP 2 years ago and registered as a Independent. There is too much infighting and they don’t seem to be able to focus on anything. They had a great chance this last election in November and they blew it. We’ve got 2 more years of this 🤡 show administration that is destroying our values and savings. Get ready for the great unifier Bolshevik Biden to do nothing about the border, inflation, opioid epidemic, or crime but let them get worse.
