Keep your eyes on these R's to see if they vote "Present". That would mean McCarthy has a plan to force the hand of the remaining hold-outs to vote for him or allow Jeffreys to win.
Interesting. That would be a crap shoot for them. How funny would it be if they inadvertently elect Jeffries? I know it isn't going to happen, but I wouldn't put it past them lol.
@jurban I noticed in this fifth vote a few GOP reps early on (Crenshaw/Gambino) didn’t seem to put in a vote. I wasn’t sure if I just missed it, or if they still had a chance to vote and were purposely holding out to the end to give the Freedom Caucus a scare. #politics #SpeakerofHouse
@pknanse
I just wonder how organized they are. Will they even know?
These are not smart people.
@CinnamonGirlE @pknanse
She's a master vote-counter.
You know she's working this strategy.
@jurban 👀
There would also have to be 5 more R's voting "Present" before this list.
Then Keith Self would be the first to drop and change his vote for McCarthy.
Then it's going to be a shit show of "Presents" and erroneous votes on part of the Rs trying to do the math as they approach the end.
