I didn't expect this to be their path to making sure the Democrats didn't accomplish anything

They're adjourned until 8pm (EST I guess?) where they'll hold the 7th vote.

Maybe this is all just a big drama smokescreen to hide the gutting of the House Ethics Committee they're planning.

Ranked choice voting sounds like such an obvious and better solution in a situation like this. No way would GOP reps concede that ranked choice voting makes sense here though…or else people would ask why not everywhere else.

Tucker Carlson is such a moron, and that's an insult to people with IQs in the 51-70 range.

So if McCarthy is desperate and needs votes, why don't the Dems strike a deal to vote him in and get some concessions out of him? Is McCarthy unpalatable to the Dems, or is he kinda the best option of bad options? I've really heard nothing about him.

Sit back and enjoy the show. It's the right idea I think.

Trump endorsed McCarthy anyway, about says it all about him.

it's not the Democrats' job to help solve this. Onus is on the "adults" on the other side, let them figure it out.

I just thought maybe they could negotiate some treats out of him, since he seems desperate.

As soon as he does that he loses the rest of the Republicans and becomes completely irrelevant

So they came back just so they could adjourn? I guess round 7 starts tomorrow.

The views of Tucker Carlson; a compulsive liar, mouthpiece for Putin, and general piece of human waste.

Huffman is 58 so I'm not sure he's part of the WoW generation. I think it was more of a sports announcer type call
