Judd LegumHas the strategy of just holding the same vote again and again until the result changes ever worked?
Comfortably Numb@juddlegum It is working, McCarthy is losing votes
😂
Peggy Heinkel-Wolfe@juddlegum I believe Einstein had thoughts
Uma Karmarkar@juddlegum The beatings will continue until morale improves.
Toots McGee
FPL Rory Smackillroy@emmreef @juddlegum Love the meme but we are going to end up with someone even worse which will hurt the country more than McCarthy. Can't believe that's possible but it is true.
GuitarGirl@juddlegum Maybe he’s going for 61 losses like Trump?

Wow, maybe out a line return before you say things like that after someone's handle, lol

TheNurseIsIn@juddlegum sounds like the definition of insanity.
Ateriath@juddlegum Only in the Catholic church.

I mean, sure. It just takes a while. 9 tries IIRC the last time they did this.

We're up to 6 so looks like we might be reaching back to the 19th C for precedent.

Cliff Maier@juddlegum Brexit?
Ed Sanders@juddlegum I think the question is, who’s next up for the McCarthy alternative?
I mean, I guess this strategy gives the Republicans about 650 fails on naming a speaker
CBells@juddlegum It certainly works if you want to heighten your embarrassment.
🌲🧿 "Max"t💽d🏵️n 🔎🍄@juddlegum Only 1 way to find out...vote again!
E.G. Phillips@juddlegum 5th time's the charm...

Zorro Notorious MEB 😡@juddlegum It's all theater and bullshit at this point. I feel sorry for the journalists who are forced to cover this distraction instead of the climate-driven events in California, and what Republicans are doing with their majority behind our backs while we're distracted.
Befuddled@AlgoCompSynth @juddlegum the house won't be doing anything until they have a speaker. Small comfort
CorneliaIf I had control over the House of Representatives, I'd want Democrats and Republicans to join together and vote for an HONORABLE and EXPERIENCED centrist who could help bridge the divide between the Democratic Party and the GOP.
You may say I'm a dreamer. But I'm not the only one.
Rebecca P.@Cornelia @juddlegum maybe something like that would have happened in the old days but not today. The GOP stands for chaos.
Dave Byrne@juddlegum Einstein said no. He was quite smart so I will run with that!
Matt 🔶 (LordMatt)@juddlegum That's how the Pope is elected (I think).
JuicyMoose@juddlegum it'll only take 80-100 more votes for a clear winner to emerge, down from 84-104 votes.
Trojan Duck@juddlegum I'm kind of okay with them doing only this for the next two years
Menny Even-Danan@juddlegum is this an #EinsteinInsanity reference?
@juddlegum Cousin Vinny passed the bar on his sixth try.
ethlmertz@juddlegum Who the Hell is Byron Donalds?
Bruce Mirken@juddlegum Clearly #KevinMcCarthy won't rest until he's undisputed holder of the title, #BiggestLoser
Alan Gamrican@juddlegum Trying to wear the opposition down,. Hoping Members will not be present for the vote, or will vote "Present" (which changes the number considered a majority). Buying time for support to build for other candidates. Possible identification of a non-Member who can be elected Speaker of the House The Speaker does not have to be an elected member of Congress.
squirrel_j@juddlegum voting against aca 53 times sorta got trump elected. Does that count?
Related, if enough people claim Einstein said something he never said, it appears to have happened.
author_is_ShrikeTron🔠💉x5@juddlegum It's the traditional GQP way to burn time.
Remembering all the kill Obamacare bills, then Benghazi, etc.
You know it's not going to change even after a Speaker is chosen.
CarlG@juddlegum Holding repeated speaker votes and just crossing your fingers for the opposition to melt is like watching Titanic over and over, hoping that one time Leo will eventually live.
As Rep. Ken Buck implies, the opposite is more likely to happen as #KevinMcCarthy supporters get disenchanted and withdraw support when it's clear McCarthy can't close the deal.
One positive from this - Trump has proven impotent, even to his own movement.
The Runt@juddlegum only in survivor but that is edited and manipulated by producers.
