Is it funny that Gym Jordan failed to win the speakership on the first ballot? Yes.
Is it drop dead hilarious that Kevin McCarthy - a man who is where he is because he couldn't count votes - thought that he would win? Also yes.
With 20 Republicans holding out against Jordan, I have a hunch more will join the holdouts. There were some who likely voted for Jordan because they wanted this embarrassment over. If Jordan can't do that they will cast about for one who might.
I still think Elise Stefanik is just waiting for someone else to nominate her as a consensus candidate.
