[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If this drags on into the weekend, I have to believe the Democrats will try and get with the moderate Republicans and put forward a consensus candidate.

Honestly, I think this government might function better if we do have a coalition government in the house[/quote]

I don't think this happens until/unless the pro-McCarthy faction switches to another candidate like Scalise and that candidate also cannot get votes from the hold-outs.  It may take a couple of these before it begins to dawn on them that no one will ever be acceptable to them.  [/quote]

Short of nominating one of their own, is there a way to appease them? I was thinking they just want a scalp, but if Scalise is also not acceptable, then that theory is out the door.[/quote]

Don't know and it appears the pro-McCarthy faction doesn't know either.  It seems like McCarthy has agreed to every demand they've made and they are still voting against him.  It's possible it's just a personality issue so Scalise or someone else may be able to break the logjam.  But I've seen a number of the HFC saying they'll vote against Scalise too.  Who knows.  They're crazy and crazy doesn't make sense.[/quote]
