What gets me about what happened last fall, and MTG and Massie now, is that they claim to be standing up for the majority of the caucus, and opposing cooperation with Democrats.
Yet, if this motion ever makes it to the floor, the overwhelming majority of the very same people who they claim to be representing will be voting against them. How can you claim to be standing up for people who are telling you to shut up and wait down?? And means MTG and Massie would be siding with Democrat against the overwhelming majority of Republicans - a much worse ration of Democrat to GOP support than anything Johnson has done.
Talk about cognitive dissonance.
I'd have no issue with a motion to vacate if a majority of the GOP caucus has identified an alternative Speaker they are willing to support. My issue is with a tiny minority of the caucus trying to impose its will on the overwhelming majority, and causing chaos as a result because there is no agreement on an alternative. It is entirely possible that there is nobody else in that caucus who can get the almost unanimous support required
