Lmao the McCarthy supporters were pretty vocal the first time around about not being willing to support any Freedom Caucus candidate, as they seem to have finally, miraculously, found a level of bullshit they dare not cross. Plus the amount of them that want to completely oust Gaetz for being “unbearable” - yeah Imma vote “probably not”

Seems like Dems propping him up so he doesn’t need the alt-right would have better than giving the alt-right more control of the party.

McCarthy is the far right. Just because there’s another faction of the far right that’s turned against him doesn’t change that, and it certainly doesn’t make him worth allying with. The Democrats tried a policy of spinless complacency for thirty years. It didn’t work. It’s not going to start working now.

McCarthy already reneged on deals he made with dems for their vote. Why the hell would they try make more deals with him? Especially when he explicitly said, before the vote, that he would not negotiate with Dems?

Here’s the thing, the far right arm of their party is anathema. They won’t give any of them the speakership.
