.@PatrickMcHenry is a boss. He is the architect of @GOPLeader’s comeback. #SpeakerVote #McCarthy — PolitiTweet.org

One certainly has to recognize @GOPLeader’s persistence and tolerance for pain. It appears he will pull this off. At what cost? That question will be answered in the coming weeks and months. — PolitiTweet.org

This is just symbolic, but the fact that #McCarthy finally received more votes than #Jeffries delivers a psychological benefit and will improve morale within the House GOP Conference. #SpeakerVote — PolitiTweet.org

Carlos Curbelo @carloslcurbelo

I don't know how McCarthy flips any of the remaining NOs, BUT with increased support, Democrats' presence in the chamber is something to keep a close eye on. A bathroom emergency can make all the difference. #SpeakerVote — PolitiTweet.org

Two years ago the Capitol was attacked by a mob motivated by the President. Today the House is essentially non-existent because it cannot elect a Speaker. We are long overdue for a political renaissance - transformational leadership that can renew America. #January6th — PolitiTweet.org

Yet another concession that will further weaken House GOP leadership. — PolitiTweet.org

The status quo affords the obstructionists maximum power and relevance. There is no incentive for them to alter their strategy or to change their posture. Further concessions will only embolden them further and weaken the #McCarthy types in the mid and long term. — PolitiTweet.org

Carlos Curbelo @carloslcurbelo

To “break them,” a new paradigm is necessary - one where they would be rendered irrelevant and centrist Members from both parties would jointly control the Chamber. If centrist Republicans seriously pursue this avenue, the renegades will fold almost immediately. — PolitiTweet.org

Carlos Curbelo @carloslcurbelo

The way to break the obstructionist House GOP contingent is not to double down on scenarios where they are the protagonists. Let’s say enough of them can be convinced to clear the way for #McCarthy. Then what? For every major vote we’ll watch a replay of this #SpeakerVote fiasco. — PolitiTweet.org

Carlos Curbelo @carloslcurbelo

Centrist Members have a perfect opportunity to take control of the Chamber, but they’re usually the most compliant (least aggressive/opportunistic) Members, so it’s still unlikely. #SpeakerVote — PolitiTweet.org

Meanwhile, across the way in the Capitol, @LeaderMcConnell - who refused to kneel at the altar of Trump - became the longest serving leader in Senate history. #TheLongGame — PolitiTweet.org

No surprise here. Trump will only do whatever he perceives is in his interest. It matters not that McCarthy has bent in all directions to appease and accommodate him. Loyalty to Trump only leads to bad places and never ends well. — PolitiTweet.org

Carlos Curbelo @carloslcurbelo

Another lie — PolitiTweet.org

Carlos Curbelo @carloslcurbelo

Smart move by McCarthy because this is his biggest threat right now. Also good for Scalise because he can always say he did all he could. — PolitiTweet.org
