And who will be the candidate(s) in the second vote? The House Republicans are becoming a laughing stock. I think this behavior is dangerous and may result in nothing being accomplished. Biden owns the MSM, the MSM controls the message, the vast majority of voters gets most of their information from the MSM, so the Repubs will be made fools, unable to govern.

Jim Jordan has repeatedly said he doesn't want it, and actually nominated McCarthy in the second round. Biggs got 9 votes in the first round. Back in November I thought immediately of Lee Zeldin, but apparently wanted to be RNC Chair, and backed away when he discovered Romney's niece effectively owns the votes of the Committee. I admire Tulsa greatly, but honestly, would these brave patriots accept a person who was a life-long Democrat until she quit? I refuse to concede that being sensible is defeatism.
