Democrats weigh McCarthy's fate as GOP moderates float rules changes to save speaker

[Dulcinea]

(CNN)—House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s allies are scrambling to head off a right-wing revolt to oust the California Republican from his job and turning to the constituency that now suddenly holds the cards: House Democrats.

One idea moderate Republicans are proposing to get Democrats on board with saving McCarthy, according to multiple lawmakers familiar with the discussions, is to revise the rules package that governs how the House operates – including making it harder for any single member to force a vote to remove the speaker, a tool known as the “motion to vacate.” They’re also discussing making changes to the powerful House Rules Committee, which is responsible for how bills are brought to the floor, sources said.

1. And after the vote, McCarthy blamed Democrats for trying to shut......................

down the government.

The working together for America at this point in time is dying. Even Manchin blames the Democratic party for not blending over backwards and kissing conservatism arse. The mind of the current conservative is whacked. Conservatives overall can give a rat's arse about the health and well being of the USA, especially about democracy.

2. Any deal Democrats make should include putting a leash on people like Jim Jordan, James Comer etc.

3. Better to face off against an inept clown like McCarthy than a formidable and

half intelligent opponent (Whoever that might be)
