Keep your eyes on these R's to see if they vote "Present". That would mean McCarthy has a plan to force the hand of the remaining hold-outs to vote for him or allow Jeffreys to win.

@jurban I noticed in this fifth vote a few GOP reps early on (Crenshaw/Gambino) didn’t seem to put in a vote. I wasn’t sure if I just missed it, or if they still had a chance to vote and were purposely holding out to the end to give the Freedom Caucus a scare. #politics #SpeakerofHouse

I just wonder how organized they are. Will they even know?
These are not smart people.

@jurban very true. For all of their derision of Pelosi she never let this kind of farce happen. Love her or hate her, she knew how to “herd the cats” that is the House of Reps. #politics

@pknanse @jurban
Absolutely! She knew how to work both sides and make things happen.
