The rules are probably meant to force them to elect someone. McCarthy would step away if he had any honour. That would allow his caucus to coalesce around someone else. I suppose it’s possible that he’ll keep offering concessions until the twenty can’t refuse, but some other hopeful could offer the same deal without abasing themselves as McCarthy has done. I get the feeling that they hate the guy, and don’t trust him to follow through on whatever he promises, for good reason, no doubt.
I think they have to keep voting or adjourn. Eighth vote over. Same result.
Something about they have to vote to adjourn and there aren’t enough votes available to win the ballot. Stuck in a loop until McCarthy withdraws…..
Comedy Show !
