My short and very uneducated analysis of this Congressional ShitShow:
The only deal Dems are ready to make right now is Jefferies as speaker. No other name will attract one D vote right now.
The hard core R's voting against McCarthy only have one goal - stop Kevin. Once he bows out, this gets settled right away.
A current R member of the House will be Speaker with no D votes. My guess is not Scalise and for sure not Stefanik but no idea who.
BUT, look at what's happened in Penn and Ohio - D's have been cutting deals. But there stories have not been dominating the cable news cycle this week either.
Acceptable registrations in the queue through March 30 at 9:00a ET have now been activated. Enjoy! -M.W.

Re: Can Democrats find 6 Republicans to flip?
Actually, the best thing that Democrats could do at this point is to have McCarthy as Speaker. There would be a big divide in the House; not between Democrats and Republicans, but between right-wing Republicans and normal Republicans. The Democrats could take advantage of this and push through legislation that they normally could not.
