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 can anyone win a vote in this caucus? people keep saying they'll get a speaker eventually with a normal process, but isn't it a fairly likely outcome that they'll just have to change the rules so that they can get a speaker without a majority? like do a jeffries/mccarthy runoff? that would actually be wild to see if anyone crosses over out of spite, they'll probably count votes though
