| Jordan faces a tough battle to become the next Speaker. Many
| moderates and Establishment types might vote against him just to
| punish those who ousted McCarthy. Acrimony runs high within the
| caucus and few are ready to forgive and forget. The next Speaker
| would need to keep moderates in line to force Democrats to surrender
| on immigration. A divided caucus would fall before the united
| Democrats in a budget battle. The GOP would face the same situation
| it faces now in the aftermath of the stopgap CR and McCarthy's
| defenestration [Trump Endorses Jim Jordan in Race for House Speaker,
| by Luke Broadwater, New York Times, October 5, 2023].

"People like Alex are knifing everyone who steps out of line with
Trump because they know this is their last ride. The money dries up
if Trump goes away. And if they are guilty of some crime, as some
are, they also know the possibility of a pardon is off the table if
Trump isn't..." - Pedro Gonzalez <URL:
