I would be in favor of this:
McCarthy withdraws from consideration.
McCarthy personally nominates Jim Jordan.
Jim Jordan accepts the nomination.
Jim Jordan says his door will always be open, but he is not going to make promises to anyone or try to buy votes.
It would be interesting to see what the ‘patriot’ holdouts would do then. My guess is they would turn on Jordan like a pack of rabid dogs once they realized their time in the spotlight was over and they wouldn’t be getting perks from the Speaker.
I’m gonna remain neutral on that, but I’m glad you put it out there.
