Her real problem is actually a little different. If she introduces a motion to oust, the Democrats will just vote against it this time. They ousted McCarthy because he went and betrayed them plus threw them under the bus, so they had no reason not to hope for a different speaker. Johnson kept his end of the bargain and doesn't go out of his way to fuck them over, so they have no reason not to reward him and keep him in power. Thus, if she introduces a motion to vacate, she and a couple other crazies vote for it and the whole rest of the House votes against it, revealing her to be even more of a joke than she's already become.
It does feel different this time. Even if traditional Republicans bend the knee to Trump and his extremist voters, we're all sick of these sickening new levels of dysfunction. Notice I didn't say they would do the right thing for the right reasons...
However the will do right things for right reasons.
so they have no reason not to reward him and keep him in power.
They have dozens of reasons to want him out.
The Dems would be foolish to intervene and prevent the GOP continuing to bludgeon themselves. If the right end to avoid the shit show caused by their own party, they should vote in a Dem speaker, even if a minority party representation.
