Others say McCarthy would do just that -- urge people to unite -- but say his critics would start nominating others to step in. Names you know and don't know. Scalise. Jordan. Stefanik. Kevin Hern. Some are plausible in such a scenario, some wouldn't want it, some random floats. — PolitiTweet.org

If it got there -- to a closed-door, messy House GOP conclave on Jan. 3 -- there are many schools about how they would unfold. Some believe McCarthy could weild the embarrassment as a weapon against his critics and urge the party to get back out there and unite. — PolitiTweet.org

Would set up quite the speakership. Any tense moment/standoff could have a dynamic where just one member (Matt Gaetz) could threaten to try to "vacate the chair" -- set in motion a process to toss McCarthy out of the job -- if the leadership doesn't buckle or offer concessions. — PolitiTweet.org

Also re motion to vacate — can moving the threshold to one earn support from @mattgaetz and some of his crew.
