that lousy dipwad and former house Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) Joins CNN as Senior Political Commentator ...... what a true POS ...
hold on to your Tutu's .... Rep.-elect Kevin McCarthy and many of the GOP members who have opposed his speakership have come to a deal that meets “basically all” of the demands made by the House Freedom Caucus (HFC), and that agreement is expected to get McCarty to the 218 votes he needs in the near future, several GOP and Democratic lawmakers told Fox News. Under the agreement being reviewed, McCarthy has agreed to give HFC members a stronger presence on key House committees, impose new controls on spending, and allowing a single member of the House to make a motion to remove the speaker, lawmakers said. That last item was one on which McCarthy initially offered a five-member minimum to “vacate the chair.” The deal also includes a requirement that legislation must be introduced for 72 hours before it can be passed and a guaranteed vote on term limits, according to Rep.-elect Ralph Norman of South Carolina. Lawmakers said they believe these changes will get McCarthy exactly 218 votes at some point, after a few remaining issues are settled with a handful of members. That implies that McCarthy’s side expects four GOP lawmakers to remain opposed to him, but he can lose that many and still win the speaker’s gavel if all others support him. Lawmakers said he expects he’ll be in a position to become the next speaker over the next day or so, barring additional requests for changes along the way. Because some Republican members are expected to be absent on Friday, the deal may not be able to be finalized until early next week. Other members were slightly less optimistic. Rep.-elect Michael McCaul of Texas said he thinks about half of the 20 Republicans will be swayed by the deal. This update was based on reporting by Fox News’ Jacqui Heinrich, Brianna McClelland and Tyler Olson.

The party members need to have principals and hold each other accountable to the tax payers and truely represent the voters, I want a unicorn and a pot of gold from a rainbow too but none of that is going to happen.
McCarthy needs to step aside .. not sure if he will ... the conservative caucus needs some one who WANTS to be speaker.. no one else does... it is a sucky job ... however, ANYONE can be Speaker, dosnt have to be a House Rep. or even in congress ....
Closed door secret deals are now happening so........both are bad. So much for these yahoo's doing all this for transparency...
I hope this is the beginning of groups splintering off and having several large political groups. Status quo can go into the crapper.
well, McCarthy now has 214 ... the horse trading continues ... next vote after 10pm ET ... I just want them to start the work they were 'hired' to do .... smh ..
