A series of events in the past few weeks has undercut what little power Johnson ever had among his fellow Republicans in the House. GOP representatives – the group that he theoretically leads – are so angry that they publicly call him names. Republicans are using parliamentary procedures to get votes on bills that Johnson doesn’t want to bring to the floor.

Incumbents panicking over the potential to lose their seats, in a Democratic landslide, are blaming Johnson for their problems. He has to make promises he must know he can’t keep to get bills passed. And Donald Trump is doing nothing to help Johnson in his time of need.

Anyone wanna start a betting pool on the number of rounds of voting it'll take for them to elect a new speaker? I'm feeling good about 12 rounds.

How long does it take from one round to the next? I feel like this should be a drinking game but should in drink a beer each round or a pour of whiskey?
