Why keep voting once they know they don't have enough votes? Seems like a waste of time. Oh, wait! It's congress. A wasteland of swamp creatures

For McCarthy: Ego. He MOVED into the speaker's office already. Do you know how destructive to him a walk of shame would be for him to move out?
Swamp: they know where the skeletons are hidden. If he doesn't win, he is done Washington.
Its the game. He doesn't have the votes. In the background between votes he is threatening and making slime-ball deals between vote to see who he can sway. The 20 who voted won't sway though, and I don't think they will if McCarthy capitulates to their previous request they originally demanded.
Now to see what happens: will Dems give him 6 votes to end this, or will the 20 turn into 21, 22, 23... or will they get the 6 more votes?
