Multiple members emerged from the House GOP’s speaker forum on Tuesday saying they don’t see either candidate being any closer to having the votes needed to secure the gavel on the floor.

Driving the news: “No one is close to 217,” Rep. Kat Cammack (R-Fla.) said after Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La) and Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) pitched members on why they believe they should be the next speaker.

    It’s the independents (whoever they are) that swing elections in places. And those places fill seats.

    We need all swing voters to see the shitshow that is the GOP. It’s already obvious, but I’ve encountered way to many"enlightened/disengaged" voters and I’m ready for them to see that can’t afford that shit now.
