Apparently, the non-lunatic faction of House republicans want the democrats to save them.

They are setting up to make this all the democrats fault if McCarthy gets kicked out. That is rich.

I'll repeat, I loathe these people. I really do.

1. Wonder how that works?

Democrats are in the minority and did not demand the vote to vacate, so to paraphrase Mr. Swalwell, not their circus, not their monkeys.

2. There is no such faction. n/t

3. This would not have happened, if the Republicans voted to

Impeach the Orange menance after the insurrection. They didn't and now he's running and calling the shots, along with the 147 or so that voted against Biden taking power.

It's a Republican problem.

4. Any 6 Republicans are free to cut a deal....

I'm sure the honorable Mr Jeffries would be more than willing to work with them to pass bipartisan legislation.

Any member can declare the speaker vacant. 6 Republicans and the dems can remove one.

Six Republicans and the dems can elect a new speaker and new leadership

Six Republicans and dems can pass bipartisan legislation.

Put up or shut up ss they say.

5. GOP House members embark on an inverted pyramid high-wire circus act

Understandably, House Democrats seem to be in no big hurry to install a safety net for them.
