The Dems will do what Dems do, which means just a few Rs voting against it (some of whom would likely do it just to spite the 20) will be enough to defeat it. McCarthy might have some influence with them, but that doesn't mean he'll exercise it.
I agree with your thoughts on how that would make McCarthy look, but Pelosi never seemed to care how awful her behavior made her look, and I'm not too sure McCarthy isn't the same. Look how many votes he subjected himself to in order to have his precious.
