I have a question. What if the bill attracts the votes of all the Democrats and none of the hard-right Republicans in the House? Are there enough votes to pass it? (In other words, can McCarthy get enough "reasonable" Republican votes to tell the Gaetz crew to pound sand? Or would he not have the votes?)
