Sometimes you have to be unhappily realistic. What McCarthy's opponents can and should do is be sure he gets the 218 votes but then they must loudly and publicly hold McCarthy's feet to the fire constantly and not let him do anything of a RINO nature.

Sometimes you have to be unhappily realistic. What McCarthy's opponents can and should do is be sure he gets the 218 votes but then they must loudly and publicly hold McCarthy's feet to the fire constantly and not let him do anything of a RINO nature. He should be called out for every stupid thing he does or tries to do. Biggs simply can't get enough votes and he surely knows that, but at this point he needs to work for the unity of the R party. The D's are almost entirely locked together as a tight unit but the R's are all over the place. This is not the time to "take a stand" if it means wrecking the R party and its chance to reverse some of Biden's damage.
The R party - which I've been a volunteering member of since Oct. 1980 - is EVERY BIT AS CORRUPT as the Democrats. As Pat Buchanan reminded us in the 1990's - the Republicans and the Democrats are simply two wings on the same bird of prey.
It's all Kabuki theatre (or professional wrestling, if you prefer): none of it is real. They don't oppose each other; they don't even dislike each other. They attend the same DC cocktail parties together. They're the closest of friends. (In the 1980's I worked on a "very conservative" U.S. Senator's staff. He was the closest of friends with the most liberal statists in the Senate.)
But every election they go out and gin up how outraged they are by the evil liberals and their horrible govt. expanding policies. (They don't believe a word of this crap, iof course.) It gets their base riled up and ready to vote for them.
They don't have the slightest intention of reversing anything. They always say they will, but then never ever do.
I wish the electorate would open their eyes and see the con job right in front them, yeat after year after year.

Good point.
