Please explain how your "MAGA Speaker" gets 218 votes from McCarthy's 188 and Jeffries' 212.
They way I see it, MAGA only has 34 votes to work with.

Not my problem. My point, of course, is that the REFORMS that the MAGA bunch wants simply means that MacCarthy will have to do as PROMISED, unlike all of the other loser-Speakers of the GOP, at least in the past few decades.
Why does MacCarthy FEAR having to do that? Does he answer to others, others outside of The Conference (a little Inside Politics talk)? If so, then his resistance makes sense, if not, then what is he waiting for?
...and let that be a lesson to you guys - if you try to be cute and let Democrats win over MAGA, this is the result you get.
...and, by the way, how about you guys tell US, the MAGA BASE, what is so bad with having a Speaker who represents the people who vote that way - after all, the Democrats NEVER had this kind of problem (think Pelosi, if confused here).
