One fascinating thing about the House Republican's self-immolation is how it is substanceless.

McCarthy's opponents have no specific complaints about McCarthy.

They just don't like him.

And McCarthy has no specific rationale for being Speaker.

He just wants power.

@juddlegum Doesn't seem like it will end anytime soon even if #McCarthy steps aside. The people not voting for him aren't even solidified behind one candidate (they're just shit-starters), and certainly anyone they are fully behind will not receive 95%+ of the caucuses votes. #Scalise might seem like a good compromise candidate, but the hardliners will see him as a McCarthy ally and fear retribution.
