6. A Plan for the "Moderate" Republicans to Take Back Control

1. Nominate someone that meets the requirements Leader Jeffries outlined above.

2. Tell their R colleagues that one (1) of the moderates will be voting for Jeffries in the next vote to show they are serious about taking control back from the MAGAts. And it will two (2) on the next vote, and then three (3) on the next, and then four (4) on the next, until either the moderate R wins, or Jeffries wins.

This will give the at least 4 rounds to convince the rest of the caucus to get in line, or Jeffries will be the speaker.

I know... It will never happen.
