Subject: Re: Gaetz vs McCarthy
The GOP is a clown car and Gaetz is nothing more than a chaos agent. Well, that dog finally caught the car. Wonder what he does now.

What do you think will happen?

McCarthy will need Dems to stop this (so I have read). Does he make some deals? If he does, a lot of Reps will call him a RINO, or a traitor, or something similar. If he doesn't, he may very well lose the speakership (and then what?**). There are probably variants on both scenarios I haven't really considered.

I've heard of Gaetz, but mostly in the context that he hates Dems, and he hates McCarthy, and he's not well-liked even among most of his colleagues. That's about all I know. He appears to me to be a radical.



**It was difficult getting a speaker selected last time. If he is removed, who could satisfy enough members to win a vote? If no one, can the House function without a speaker? Or does government just stop until this is resolved (maybe next election, over a year away)?
