[quote=Anonymous]4 is just a dream. But thanks for including it.

McCarthy will do what he's always done: try to make concessions to the hard right to get their votes again. He lied to them once, apparently, but he'll try again, because that's what he does.

He *might* squeak by with enough Republican votes, because I don't think the Freedom Caucus wants too many rounds of voting. They want to persuade some Democrats to vote for their Speaker pick, which I believe is entirely delusional. The Freedom Caucus might split and Gaetz left out to dry, but he might use that to seek governship in Florida, or become VP pick for Trump. Similar calculus for MTG. They're performing for MAGA.

McCarthy will also put out feelers to find out the price of a few Democratic votes. It will be steep, so probably won't happen. But this is what used to be called a "Mexican stand-off" , or a fight where everyone has a lot to lose - the far left does not want to work with McCarthy.

It's too hard to predict at the moment.[/quote]
