I am here for the chaos. Supposedly, 113 GOP members are in support of Scalise, so I cant wait to see how the vote goes in real time. I forgot how Trump will react, knowing they picked someone else instead of his pick, Jim Jordan. Wont MAGA be pissed?

The truth is, Republicans want to be mad, and they want to blame it on people other than themselves.

They're just brainwashed. It's that simple.

So the present votes would push them over to 217 right? This is just more grandstanding then? Maybe Matt will pitch in Trump again? Hopefully no more deals right?

Whoever wins needs 217 votes (there are two vacancies).

Ken Buck has already said he will vote present every time.

All 212 Democrats will vote for Jefferies in every round of voting.

Whether it is Scalise or Jordan, they can only have a maximum of three defectors or we do this over again.
Will never happen, but just imagine if a group of 5 Republicans got fed up and gave an ultimatum like on the 5th vote we give it to Jeffries if nobody is agreed upon.

Letting voters decide is how the Tories got stuck with Liz Truss.

Parliamentary leadership positions within a legislative body have always been elected by the legislators.

Voters chose this congressional makeup, their next say is in November of next year.*

* Obvious caveat to recognize gerrymandering.

I mean, if the choice is between scalise and Jordan, who would we prefer wins this

Scalise only because unlike Jim Jordan he wasn't the House Member most connected with trying to overturn the election and didn't deny a Congressional subpoena while demanding that others honor his own. Also Scalise didn't cover up sexual abuse of college students, as far as I'm aware.

Elevating the House member most responsible for trying to end Democracy to the House Speaker would be a bigger disgrace than making Trump POTUS.

Maybe the question now isn't how many votes it's going to take to elect a speaker but how long will we go until they even hold a vote. It sounds like Scalise is a long way from securing enough votes to win it.
