Dream case would be the less right reps putting up someone sensible enough for Dems to support.
This predicates a sensible candidate existing, so will remain a dream (and still a shitty one, like dreaming a full day of school just before waking up on a school day).
At this point no one knows really. This could also end up being the beginning of the Republican Party permanently fracturing. It seems we get closer to that each day.
I think that would have already happened if the moderates thought they’d have any chance at winning elections as a centrist party, but first past the pole voting keeps 3rd party candidates out of contention in most districts. The math is against it happening, or it might have happened back when the dipshit tea partiers arrived.
And now Republicans blame Democrats for not supporting him lmao
It may have been a no win choice for Dems, but I’m a little worried that we’re gonna end up with a much worse speaker.
Keeping McCarthy would have at least been fucking over Gaetz.
I’m hoping they’re unable to coalesce around another person.
I hear we’re likely to get Jim Jordan. UGH.
Fucking hell. The GOP really loves making pedophiles and rape enablers their leaders, apparently.
Yeah, that seems like it’s best case.

Parties have died before even under our system, it is possible.
