While I suppose it's fun to yell "GOP in disarray" for awhile longer...I'm sort of struggling to see the bigger play here?
Technically more Democrats voted to out McCarthy than Republicans - from an optics standpoint (if there is mass chaos, shutdown, etc), this can easily be turned on them. Or at least you know the GOP will try.
Jeffries said he wanted the GOP to distance itself from the MAGA faction - but doesn't booting McCarthy enable them even more? They got what they wanted.
It's like those 2022 midterm ad buys by Democrats promoting the MAGA candidates in GOP primaries - sure they seem unelectable but it's a gamble. They're pretty much ceding GOP control to the MAGA diehards now, and eventually they will get their hands on more and more levers of government.
Not saying McCarthy was a great guy or an effective Speaker, but seems like there are much worse options on the very near horizon. Not seeing the 3D chess here.
