I think we may have reached the end point where both sides are looking for a way out with something they can live with but we’ll see.

MAGA made clear it wasn’t Emmer. GOPe made clear it wasn’t Jordan. It wasn’t going to be another iteration of the old, unimpressive McCarthy faction like Scalise. Maybe it’s Johnson.

You make some good, rational points there, and I tend to agree on most of it.

At the same time, I honestly wouldn’t be that surprised if a space alien ended up being Speaker. I woul d put Johnson just above “space alien TBA”.
