Who’s gonna be the Speaker of the House?

McCarthy failed three times to get elected speaker. Looks like his chances may be slipping away.
Who will win?

I'm looking for a silver lining: does this mean Republicans are finally refusing to negotiate with domestic terrorists?

No, the domestic terrorists are trying to strong arm the "moderate" Republicans into giving them committee seats and other leverage to screw things up with.

They should put up that moderate republican guy up for votes. Don't remember his name but I figure he'd be a good choice.

Either you get the vote and step down if you can't get elected and pick another guy. Unless of course those against mccarthy suddenly change their mind.
Or hope that maybe the Democrats get tired of showing up afte 50 rounds of failed votes or something. That could maybe make the difference.

Apparently four republicans won’t be able to make it tomorrow so that’s halfway to having a democratic majority for the speaker vote
