That’s the problem. Scalise is GOPe and Jordan is MAGA Tea arty. If neither of them can get the 217 (218 is an absolute majority), then who can? The Establishment doesn’t want Jordan and MAGA doesn’t want McCarthy, Scalise, or anyone like them. Who can get the votes that is worth giving them to?
This is why Gaetz’s gambit was a bad idea. Once you kill the King, you have to have a plan for the aftermath.

Just maybe Gaetz’s “plan for the aftermath” was to further expose the GOPe in the House. In that regard Gaetz has been very successful.
It was basically the other sides king. Sure they can appoint another one. You kill that one too.
