It's a weird situation. To become the speaker - McCarthy must do one of two things...
Get the hardliners to vote for him. But how? They said they'd never vote for him. They seem to truly hate him.
or
Get some dem support without losing GOP votes due to outrage. That's 100% impossible not only for McCarthy but for anybody.
The funniest outcome is Scorpion and the Frog. McCarthy changes the parliamentary rules so much that he empowers the hardliners with the ability to fire him at will, he becomes speaker, and in a few months they fire his ass just because they can.
