It occurs that nothing McCarthy promised gets delivered unless it's in the rules package. He could yank the teeth of the malcontents by

refusing to include any of their extreme asks and instead actually propose rules that would get Dem support.

Surely his faction is willing to avoid a "one complaint = new speaker election" rule as well as some of the other crazy crap the nutjobs have asked for.

And a rules vote is going to get a LOT less attention than a Speaker vote.

Will the democrats do anything at all to help save him from himself? If it wasn't for hardcore MAGAts he'd be the worst one. - aud lang zeit Jan 7, 13:54 2
- Oh, Dems shouldn't vote for anything they don't have a hand in crafting, but if they can craft rules that sideline - TWuG Jan 7, 14:03 1
  - the idea that Kev is savvy enough to fuck over his hostage takers is kind of belied by the fact that it took 15 and a half votes to become speaker -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 7, 14:08
He will have to put their asks in the rules package or he will never be able to work with them (and probably others) again. But, other republicans - pmb Jan 7, 13:30
Dem support, lol -- nm - znufrii Jan 7, 12:53 2
- For rules, yes. That gives them something they wouldn't get just letting the GOP set them. - TWuG Jan 7, 13:12 1
  - The changes as to how admendments are added i heard is something the Dems would find acceptable -- nm - eag Jan 7, 13:15
