Is MTG hated enough in the House that

[no_hypocrisy]

Republican House Members would purposely not vote for McCarthy, to prevent her from becoming the power behind the throne?

[ananda]

1. She is bad for the party, that's for sure.

..

[hlthe2b]

2. How could they not? She isn't just a megalomaniac, she is destructive and

just plain nasty--to everyone. Surely on some instinctive level, she must come across to them as the truly unpleasant and fully ugly being that she is.

But, who knows? There are other MTGs out there and the male versions are hardly less contemptible even if we are more accustomed to them.

10. She seems to have become

the Ted Cruz of the House - probably the most hated member.

[Harker]

15. It's a sizable field. n/t

[PatSeg]

20. That is true

and the competition, especially in the House is pretty fierce.

[SoCalDavidS]

18. The Voters Of TX Love Cruz

I keep hearing how much he is hated. But they Hate anybody with a (D) behind their name, Much more.

[PatSeg]

21. I know, which I find really strange

He is such an obvious sleazeball. He makes my skin crawl.

I meant the most hated person in the Senate - among his colleagues. Even republicans can't stand his arrogant, condescending demeanor. I think it was Al Franken who delegated him The Most Hated Person in the Senate.

3. we can only hope!

4. Using the word UGLY to describe MTG

Is not being offensive or insensitive.

We are not describing her appearance, but her overall CHARACTER. Of which she has little of.

[NoMoreRepugs]

5. Her entire persona is FUGLY.

[Blue Owl]

13. FUGLY on steroids -- a total freak show

[PatSeg]

11. Yep, ugly is as ugly does

If she was a decent person, people wouldn't call her ugly.

[yellowdogintexas]

12. Like any Southern Granny worth her salt would say "she's just acting ugly"nt

[PatSeg]

19. Ha, ha, ha!

Yeah and that is pretty much all the time!

She is that annoying parent who shows up at your kid's school and starts yelling at the teacher in front of everyone because her little Tommy feels left out or whatever. I've known my share of Margorie Taylor Greenes and normal people avoid them whenever possible.

[yellowdogintexas]

22. yep she has taken "showing her ass" to a whole new level

That woman is Olympic Level Tacky

[PatSeg]

23. She is addicted to the attention

If she is ignored, she will just get louder and more outrageous. Just imagine being married to a person like that. I'm surprised her marriage lasted 27 years year. Her demands for nonstop attention must have been exhausting.

6. That would be a good start!

Not giving the gavel to to Trump loyalist in the first place! But they are Trump loyalists, so there are others who do the same!

[Emile]

7. Republicans all march in lockstep. Whenever they decide, they'll all agree.

But, there is proof that they don't know how to govern.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

9. Not quite lockstep. 30 or so voted against McCarthy for leader last month. . . . nt

[Bernardo de La Paz]

8. She is ideologically aligned w the 30+ freeDumb caucusers but latched onto McCarthy for power. nt

[bottomofthehill]

14. Not even close, she is the party base.

[yankee87]

16. Biggest Draw

Whether or not we like it, she is one of the the biggest draws in the Qpublican party. She’s going to get anything she wants.

[paleotn]

17. Not sure about that. I'd assume there's internal friction....

Her being such a loud mouthed dumb ass, shurely she rubs many the wrong way in her own party. But regardless, I think most of McCarthy's caucus doesn't like him because he's not bat shit crazy enough. Not necessarily a bad thing for us. They're essentially bottled up with only a slim House majority, plus a Democratic Senate and Admin, and can do no real, lasting damage. So let them bounce off the walls. They're only hurting themselves for 2024.

In my opinion, many, particularly in our press, don't realize how weak the current iteration of Republicanism truly is. They couldn't take Congress in an off year election with a less than stellar economy. They've not won a national popular vote in nearly 20 years. They cling to what little national power they still have with tricks and anachronisms embedded in our form of democracy. As the country continues to inch to the left, even that will fail to work on a national level.

24. I remember when Anthony Weiner had his troubles

And DU was a little upset at first because he was so vocal on media. He seemed like a leader . . . but then a lot of Dems in the house shrugged about losing him because he did next to nothing legislative wise. He was all talk, no game.

I assume MTG is exactly the same way. She never saw a microphone she didn't love, but has zero accomplishments within the house. There is zero reason to believe her GOP members don't despise her as they know she will make any legislating harder. She's all talk, no game and now they have to govern. Will this cause members to not vote for McCarthy? IDK. My assumption is the next GOP speaker will be a joke and it's title will become a curse to whomever the title hangs on.

I mean, Hunter Biden's laptop 24/7 . . . yeah, FOX universe will Jizz, but the country as a whole doesn't like these nothing burgers.
