He needs to be removed. I hope Liz Cheney gets his seat.

[quote] McCarthy and his team are worried because the sprint to the midterms begins now. Nonetheless, they think they have enough time to reset their image and get the party and its funding streams back on track.

I don't think so.

Which is why i can't understand why the fool isn't locked in with Pelosi to get rid of Trump completely. Is the fear of being primaried by Trumpublicans that frightening?

r2 Trumpism = Racism. Racism = 75% of the Party

McCarthy represents Bakersfield which is very Republican. I drove through there in November before elections and saw a lot of billboards calling Democrats communists. The population is largely Latino but mostly poor. They need a Democrat like Stacy Abrams to organize something.

How could she get his seat when they're not even in the same state, much less the same district?

r5 i think he or she means that Cheney, who is the #2 Republican would move up to #1 where McCarthy is now

When I first saw this thread title, I thought you were talking about his literal survival. Seems that's a bigger priority for him and his conference these days.

Well, it might be his literal survival since the WP reported that the MAGA-ites in his district didn't think he was loyal enough to Dear Leader. I'd love to see Big Liz kick this asshole to the curb

He’s weak. The Republicans need a firebrand for leader, someone like Gingrich.

R8 She's a target of the MAGAts too. Don't expect her to win reelection.

Nobody needs Gingrich for anything, R9. Absolutely nothing. If there is one person responsible for today's political climate, it's Newt Gingrich. The trail of responsibility for 1/6/2021 can be traced back to him and his aggrieved white man bullshit that he's been peddling for the last 30 years.

Gingrich is completely toxic and radioactive. No one wants him for anything other than spouting off with his big mouth.

Biden should leave him and his old hag over in the Vatican. He fits rights in with all the other thieves, liars, crooks and sexual perverts who inhabit Vatican City.

He was very good in Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
