Don’t see any Dem getting voted in, as this same tactic would be used against them, so in reality, who will gather enough support to be the new Speaker...

Jim Jordan comes to mind. He gave a speech to keep McCarthy as Speaker so he doesn't appear to be disloyal. Remember a good leader gets the job done and keeps the group together. McCarthy failed that test.

Well, now that McCarthy isn’t part of the equation (assuming), then that should lead the way to a consensus, eventually.

I wonder if McCarthy will attempt to put his name in the hat for the next round...

JJ is like cold-decking double Aces -- why put him in the Speaker's role when he could play a YUGE role in Trump II?

Also, JJ just defended McCarthy.

Jordan is a brilliant and capable guy but his skills and talents seem to me to be more geared toward investigative, legal and analytical work. Not sure of his ability to lead people to move a big agenda forward. In my experience, the best leaders are team builders, visionaries and motivators that focus the organization on high payoff things. Just my two cents.
