Good points, but any Republican who votes for a Democrat would see the entirety of the MAGA base vote against them. Hell, McCarthy got ousted for just negotiating with Democrats to avoid a shutdown. None of them are going to vote for Jeffries.
Yep, that was a “we have you by the balls” requirement to ensure that there could easily get rid of McCarthy if he did anything that the fringe right didn’t like. It’s not a rule that is helpful for getting work done, but those clowns don’t care about that. The next speaker should get rid of it, it’s dumb.

Yeah, but it could be smart for some of the NY reps that flipped blur districts

It’s not like McCarthy thought it was a great idea. It was that he didn’t have a choice. It was either that or he wasn’t going to be the speaker.
