Interesting, yes. But I don't get it. He seems to be being blocked by hardcore right-wingers, even though he also is a hardcore right-winger. Is he somehow not "pure" enough, similar to progressives saying (for example) Biden isn't progressive enough? What I've read about McCarthy, he's a die-hard Trumpie who thinks Jan 6 wasn't a big deal, and certainly doesn't blame Trump for it, and didn't think a commission to investigate was appropriate.

I don't get it. I'm enjoying it (i.e. the turmoil), but it doesn't make sense to me.

I also don't get how they keep voting over and over, for the same guy, expecting a different result. Is it just bullying until McCarthy is elected? That's not how elections are supposed to work. May as well be Saddam claiming he won an election with 90% of the vote...may as well not have the election at all.
