McCarthy Takes Himself Out

I guess he figured his caucus was "untrustable".

An absolute WOW, even better than Boehner resignation. The GOP House is in disarray and out in the open, just what we need before the general election. The Oct. 22nd hearing with Hillary now will fly under the radar since this is a fight for power and may the worst candidate win. I will even settle for Pelosi. :)

I cannot help but think that Mr. Obama is chuckling to himself. :D

Looks like Boehner is going to have too crawl on his belly to Nancy Pelosi for help, again. :cool:

Only to be expected from the party that hates politicians and governing by a civil consensus for the good of the country.

Apparently, Pelosi said earlier today that the House Democrats wouldn't be helping the GOP Establishment wing with any votes for speaker. Why interrupt the enemy while they're in the midst of destroying themselves?

It's a sad but accurate commentary on the state of US politics that the opposing parties regard each other as the enemy.:mad:

Pelosi should tell any Republicans who want help to vote for her for speaker.

There are 37 repub members who form an hardcore...The Freedom Caucus. This core is a bane to the establishment and carry undue influence on the election process...it wants to see a radical leader.
