Here’s how badly McCarthy got beat
House Freedom Caucus has ~45 members (20%) but got 3 out of 9 GOP seats on all-powerful Rules Cmte (33%)
KM only wanted to give 2
3 is HUGE b/c it’s Veto power on every bill
Freedom Caucus will now control every single bill in House
71
275
900
And you'd be right. This is why there was NO committee meetings on Rule Changes or Church Committees before voting for McCarthy. The 20 Holdouts had to expose to the American People what was actually happening in Congress and how Pelosi had changed most of the rules, like the Vacate Chair rule in order that no one in the House could get rid of her during her 'tenure.' and the 'Earmarks' along with over 4000 pages of a Bill that was to be voted on in less than 24 hours. I'm sure this OPENED a huge amount of eyes.
I don't have your confidence in the number of eyes opened, but maybe some of them will make a huge difference
A lot of people might have wanted to tune in on Cspan and watch to see who was going to win since it was taking so long. They may have wanted to know what the reason was there was a hold up. People tune in for all sorts of reasons. We must hold the faith that they did.
