Kevin McCarthy just wants to put on his Big Boy Pants and become Speaker. That appears to be an unlikely outcome. The GOP House Caucus is such a festering bag of lunatics and QAnon adherents that we are headed to a situation where McCarthy will make compromise after compromise with moral sewers like Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Traitor Greene to win their votes and he still likely won't get them.
If McCarthy can't secure the votes, how many ballots will it take before we get ten or so Republicans who will back someone like Liz Cheney who could win the election if every Democrat and five Republicans agree? But are there five Republicans in the House who aren't insane and tethered to Donald Trump's nutsack?
In a sane world. the average American voter would reject the chaos that comes with electing Republicans to control anything. We do not live in a sane world.
