Bigun:
McCarthy will be speaker and will be elected on the first vote even if he has to resort to Democrat votes to get there.
Cyber Liberty:
I think he'll eventually get to be speaker, but only if he does what "The Five" wants first.

I truly do not understand what they are doing. They don't have an alternative candidate ----- nevermind a viable one.
They have won concessions in rule changes, including calling for a vote to remove the Speaker at any time when 5 members agree ----
They have put themselves in a position of owning McCarthy and the agenda -----by demonstrating they have the votes to stop anything.
"What the hell are they doing?" is a fair question. And "Why are they making conservatives in the House the face of irrationality?" is another one.
