I"m sure it took a lot of courage for anyone to oppose him on anything. Very few have that much courage. Didn't he pitch anyone who opposed him out of their Capitol offices and into the LOB?

This sounds like a guy left without a home in the GOP who is looking for anywhere to hide, even cutting deals with Dems. We need new leadership in Atlanta, but we don't need Tyrone Brooks. This is a ridiculous betrayal of every election result in the state since 2002 and of customs that have governed the House for many, many years.

I've also seen how Martin and Jones would try and outdo each other to the press in talking about how extremely awesome Burkhalter was. At this point, I would be very suspicious of anyone who a week ago was actively promoting the status quo, but now, after their meal ticket left the building, is all for open and transparent government. I don't think this will be exclusive to Chuck. Look at anyone who was dependent on Richardson or Burkhalter and they probably don't like the idea of having a Caucus vote anymore.

Elections for leadership posts that are not open and transparent will only lead to more speculation, accusations and name calling. Seems to me that only those with something to hide fear openness and transparency.

Egomaniacal narcissism is a Republican Value. The players are merely following the script. Thank you for bringing Mr. Williard’s comments to my attention.
