The only way that'd be true would be if they think they can vote someone in
who is even more on their side that you believe McCarthy to have been...
and that is likely what we will wind up with.

I think it is all a smoke screen... get rid of McCarthy so MAGA folks
are happy.  Meanwhile, until there is a new speaker, they can sit on their
hands and not do anything because, legally, when there is a speaker vacancy
they must elect one before they do anything else.
