The longer this goes on, the more I believe it is completely staged. Gaetz is the best and most convincing person for the role he is playing. The lack of a real plan to present someone who can defeat McCarthy seems like a huge tell. Gaetz doesn’t strike me as a person who does something without a well thought out plan.
Also look at the pro McCarthy members, they don’t really seem panicked, they are putting on a show, but it doesn’t feel real. If this was a normal circumstance a group of the people supporting him would be pushing him to stand aside to get on with business.
Then there is President Trump, with zero concern for the old line political concept of political capital. He keeps making statements and Congress keeps taking votes.
I have no idea why or what, but it feels like they are trying to run the clock out on something.
