There wasn’t a chance of Pelosi being nominated. 20 Pubs would’ve had to of voted for her.

What WOULD have happened ~ with just one more “against” vote, is that it would go to a second vote. The chances of more Cheeto defectors (potentially) increases, then. Worse case...Cheeto would still be voted....but, not Pelousy. And an even bigger message would’ve been sent...or, he would’ve lost. We’ll never know. With Daniel Webster running, things could’ve changed, quick.

Rep Louie Gohmert (one of the OTHER candidates for Speaker, Mia) explained this, brilliantly.

I thought everyone was saying Mia Love was smart? She really kissed the rock on that one.

Exactly!!
I am so disappointed. I received several fundraising emails from her right before the election. I was tempted to donate as I don’t donate to the GOP anymore, but I am so glad I did not. I highly doubt she will stand on principle in future tough votes since she could not stand on principle on this :(
