are to blame for the spectacle and chaos (not just the 90% who are voting for him). If they refused to show up for another pointless vote, they would reduce the number needed to win sufficiently for Jeffries to have 50+%. Without them there to cast opposition votes, the Rs wouldn't even be holding a vote at all. They should all tell Jordan they won't show up until someone else is the party's choice.

It isn't just Republicans I believe. We just don't have a reason to.
