If Kevin McCarthy wants any Democrats to vote against the motion to vacate the chair that would end his speakership, he had better make some concessions their way, rather than remain ever beholden to the far-right radicals in Congress. One concession I can think of: End the silly “impeachment inquiry” of Joe Biden launched at the request of the MAGA right. It’s a politicized farce with no evidence, and he knows it. No concessions, no support.

@georgetakei Why negotiate with McCarthy? I wonder if there is someone more moderate that the Dems could support in his stead. Hell, at this point could there be found 4 GOP members that would support a Democratic speaker?

@antares @georgetakei

What moderate Republican would want this job? The far-right nutjobs have caused misery for the past 3 GOP speakers in a row.

On the other hand, every time I think "No Republican could be THAT stupid", it's like the universe says, "Challenge accepted."
