It looks like McCarthy has two choices.

[fightforfreedom]

Step aside or go ask the Democrats for help.

1. Dems getting in the middle of this Cluster F is insanity.

[FakeNoose]

2. He has one choice - he's not getting help from the Dems

Just bow out Kevin. This will go on forever until you do.

[malaise]

6. Demsust not support anyone who supported the coup

That is all

[crickets]

3. Democrats will not help him.

He's going to have to give up all on his own. This could take a while...

[rsdsharp]

4. His choices are slim and none.

But Slim’s dead, and None’s living in Nebraska.

[Gore1FL]

5. A deal may come, but I don't think it will involve McCarthy.

He has burned a lot of bridges.

[orleans]

7. maybe he's trying to break that 100 yr old record

i think i read it took nine votes back in 1923

perhaps mccarthy is going for at least 10. lol

[mercuryblues]

8. His 2 choices are

step aside and lie the coup plotters, when he gets elected to expel them from congress. Republikkklans made this mess, they clean it up.
