    I don’t think the next time will take 15 rounds of voting, but there’s going to be a long while before the first vote. I also think that neither Scalise or Jordan (who is my guess) can rely on any votes from the democrats. It would be fun watching the GOP implode further if the stakes weren’t so high.

      I agree I don’t think it’ll go to a vote until it’s completely a lock. Hopefully Gaetz will have another temper tantrum and be an even bigger embarrassment.
