    Gaetz has no plan to elect anyone else. He was asked that Directly. This would be a victory if there were a plan to put someone in place and govern, but there is not. If all the right wing wants to do is allow the government to falter, then that is just a waste of time and taxpayer money. My guess is this will hurt the right wing in the long term, but I know, from having lived in the southern US, that some of their constituents want it in the short term.

      Is there any stopping the non maga republicans from voting to elect a Democrat as a speaker? If not, wouldn’t the maga republicans be keen to at least keep a Republican as speaker and negotiate a little bit?
