Opinion: House Republicans' real choice: Kevin McCarthy for speaker or chaos

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich comments on the Republican Party taking back the House in the midterm elections on 'Hannity.'House RepublicansBecause of the narrow majority, a handful of House Republicans saw an opportunity to blackmail the rest of the conference and force their will by refusing to vote for the conference’s choice for speaker.House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy

Most of the non-McCarthy members have already agreed that the majority must rule, and McCarthy is close to having the votes to become speaker on Jan. 3.However, it only takes five to cause chaos. That would mean five are attempting to coerce 214 other members. In his first inaugural address in 1861, President Abraham Lincoln warned against the inevitably destructive precedent this behavior sets us. As Lincoln put it:"If a minority will secede rather than acquiesce, they make a precedent which, in turn, will divide and ruin them; for a minority of their own will secede from them whenever a majority refuses to be controlled by such minority.

The small hardline group needs to find some reasonable requests to allow them to end up supporting the House GOP Conference’s candidate for speaker.

The MAGA portion of the Republican Party, just stabbed McCarthy in the back! All that Trump boot-licking was for nothing! Trump knows you will never get the votes; that's why he said 'lets wait and see'! What he really meant was 'see ya Mac'!

McCarthy is a Rhino no thanks!

No longer care about your opinions or your twisting of the truth or your right out propaganda pushing

Republicans in disarray. Since they stand for nothing, this was always going to be the result.

I choose chaos

Lets give chaos a try. We already know how much a failure gop rule is...

Both sounds more like it

I choose violins

The GOP is already chaos

Putin’s modern Rasputin Alexander a Dugin has his whole theory based in chaos….so of course the GOP prefers it. They are now all anarchists and terrorists out to destroy, not build. Putin could not be happier.

stop trying to dictate what we think, traitorous faux news. hope fox tanks next.

It will be chaos

They need to get their shit together. You work for the people.

After GOPLeader loses today he should change his name to Kantvin Mccarthy GOP 😜

I'll take chaos, beautiful powerful things are born of chaos. The alternative to chaos is to fall in line like the GOP always does and in the end the people suffer. This is where Donald Trump failed, he should have been a bull in a China shop but he eventually fell in line.

Heck no to RINO McCarthy.

Kevin McCarthy is already moving into the speakers office because the GOP no longer respect the vote and now just declare themselves the winner.

If Republicans can’t unite their first day in power & vote MCCARTHY & get down to important issues facing Americans-after 48 years as a Republican-I’m leaving party for INDEPENDENT. Tired of Dems supporting each other & Republicans NEVER being supportive or on same page. DONE!

At this point in the game chaos may be a good thing.

FYI—Paul Ryan is a hack

Nope

Choose chaos.

Already got chaos!

Traitors helping traitors continue to destroy the Republic in my opinion.

Give me chaos every time.

I'd rather have chaos than that loser RINO.

I choose Chaos!!!

The GOP can't run itself...forget about the country. / politics Opinion RepMTG laurenboebert

Lol okay

Embrace chaos Be ungovernable

Fox News is becoming CNN Rino support 101 isn't the answer...

McCarthy is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, he’s not for “We the People”.

I choose chaos

Chaos it is, then!

Chaos

No one gives a shit what FoxNews says after you guys called Arizona in 2020, even before CNN was willing to do it.

He is just the male version of SpeakerPelosi

Let’s go for chaos until they get their act together and get rid of all the RINOS

I choose chaos

We’d prefer massive chaos, actually

Opinions are like a**holes, everyone has one, and they all stink

NO! GOP vote no on McCarthy

More uniparty illusion of choice. We’ll take the chaos, thanks!

Chaos! Lol.....

hmm....

I’ll take the chaos please.

There is a third choice...

1776 Colonists' Choice: Subjugation to England or Chaos.

The AMERICA Problem

Becareful of whom you vote in

If Fox News is in support of Mcarthy then he is the wrong choice!

Chaos….

GOP is already in chaos. He who is down fears no fall

Fox News can’t be trusted.

McCarthy is an example of the status quo that pervades DC. He feels entitled to be Speaker rather than having an open process to elect a new Rep that can break the gridlock and institute conservative values.

Nope

Bullshit

Get behind McCarthy and STOP DIVIDING THE PARTY!

Kevin’s ego will not allow anyone else? This is a sign of narcissism.

Chaos sounds like fun compared to more uni-party leadership that ignores conservative priorities. The current GOP leadership has lost touch with and the trust of its base.

Even the GOP doesn't want McCarthy because they know he is a seditious traitor and dangerous for America. They are trying to avoid the 🤡 show his 'leadership' is certain to bring.

Fox's shilling for McCarthy is not totally out of control.

Big day!

Some House Republicans concerned McCarthy speakership would continue 'past and ongoing Republican failures'Nine GOP House members said Kevin McCarthy's election to the speakership could mean a continuation of past and ongoing Republican failures. What past and ongoing failures could they possibly be talking about? Oh I got it... Ratings for 'Gutfeld!' Of course, why change direction now? Rinos going to Rino. Today's Republican party is corrupt to the core. Nearly every Republican lawmaker has taken part in or enabled the Trump corruption. They all would have stood up & applauded if criminal Trump had succeeded in stealing the election & turning the United States into a dictatorship.
