How hasn't the dude thrown in the towel after 6 Ls? Isn't it clear that you don't belong there at this point?? Lol
He won't because it's his lifelong goal to become Speaker. All the political analysts and insiders have said that becoming Speaker was all McCarthy has ever cared about. He'll do anything, say anything to anyone, sell his soul, turn on people if it's in his best interest to become Speaker (Turned on Trump after January 6th when he thought it was in his best interest, exposed for secretly wanting these MAGA twitter accounts banned, then went crawling back to Trump one month later when he thought he needed Trump's support to become Speaker, then turned on Liz Cheney, who is anti-Trump and got her kicked out of Republican leadership when she was the 3rd highest ranking House Republican). That's why he's seen as phony and not genuine by everybody. Democrats and the MAGA people who consider him " the establishment" aka the enemy.
He does have votes from some of the crazy MAGA people such as Marjorie Taylor Greene, but that's because she knows that if he's elected Speaker, she will be able to make him her bytch. He already caved to a lot of her demands and she's expected to be put on the Oversight Committee, where she can investigate the Biden administration and make a shyt show & circus of every Oversight hearing.
He tried to become Speaker last time in 2015. He was considered the favorite and had to drop out because the House Freedom Caucus, (which was basically the "MAGA before MAGA" obstructionist trash that killed a lot of bi-partisan legislation during the Obama years) wouldn't support him. That's how Paul Ryan became Speaker.
If he drops out again, it's over permanently.
Even if he comes Speaker, he'll be the weakest Speaker in recent history. He already caved and gave them a rule change that would allow any group of 5 members to call for a full vote to remove the Speaker. He'll be walking on eggshells and will be letting the extremists/MAGA/arsonists run the show out of fear. They don't want to govern and help pass laws. They are wannabe reality TV show people that just want to scream loudly at everything, get interviews on Fox News, and want to burn the country down.
