“We have to get the Speakership in place or there will be growing pressure for the moderates to do what they did in PA and Ohio - team up with the Dems for a “unity” candidate and instead of a half a loaf, we will have nothing.”

If they would rather negotiate with the Dems to get a “unity” candidate rather than with the hold outs in their own party for a unity candidate, (e.g. Jim Jordan or someone like him), it just shows all the more why playing ball with the RINO’s is a rigged game and any deal the hold outs have made with McCarthy isn’t worth the paper it’s written on.

Correct because real conservatives are a small minority of American voters.

Last I looked, McCarthy has a 25% approval rating with the American voters.

I understand, and I think I said, someone LIKE Jim Jordan.

Getting in the weeds of wonk causes you to miss my point. Who of the 20 objectors has expressed a willingness to be speaker?
