“You know he’s going to be making deals left and right, as we speak, he’s on the phone now making deals – that’s how he got MTG, right. [McCarthy] cut her a deal…but you’re telling me you got a dozen ‘hard nos’?” Fredericks asked Rep. Good. more

Wash, rinse, repeat.
But, what happens if democrats vote 100% for democrat speaker nominee?
