Try thinking of it this way:
Congress is the business of government. The November conference was the Board of Directors meeting to choose the man or woman to be the Republican Corporation's CEO candidate to be voted on by the general shareholders. The Board's vote is legally binding.
If you're unhappy with the outcome, find a way to work with it or resign and find another Board.
I could try thinking of it that way. But it wouldn't be an accurate representation of the situation.
Here's the deal. The rules dictate that the next Speaker receive a majority of the votes of all members present. Since a majority of the members are Republicans, it is very highly likely that the person who ends up receiving a majority is a Republican.
Now, let's look at what Republican ends up receiving that majority. As it stand now, that person will need all but four of the Republican votes. But currently, there are 21 Republicans who are holding up that process. And the reason they are doing so is because they are sick and tired of the GOP Establishment running roughshod over the voters.
Everything we have complained about for the last 16 years, these 21 Reps advocate. Every time we've been screwed over by Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, John Boehner, Reince Priebus, Ronna McDaniel, etc., they have heard our cries and are willing to fight to do away with those Swamp rats. Unlike Trump, these 21 reps actually are trying to drain the Swamp. They stand in the gap. They advocate for everything we have complained about for over a decade. And they are our only hope.
I will not surrender to the Swamp. I stand with anyone willing to fight to send the old guard to pasture and replace them with people willing to stand up for the Constitution of the United States of America, and to the Republic it once upheld.
