re: Johnson could have passed a much smaller minibus avoiding a shutdown.

Fair enough, but I think most of MAGA and conservatives outside of MAGA were happy with Johnson being named speaker, based on his positions and voting record. He has been an unpleasant surprise so far though.

He doesn't have the votes in Congress to do what many hard line conservatives amongst the voting population really want to see happen. It's that simple.

For those who think Johnson now needs to be booted as House Speaker, who do you want to be put in that can ALSO actually get the votes to be named House Speaker?

I'm not sure that question has been answered ever since MTG started headline grabbing charade.
