npub1p8saydhfl0p78w3g7x2urgrhrh4htk8pkaghrrcm5ckj055zm7dq064tga (npub1p8s…4tga) I still think Gym wins this one, but...
Gym is already extreme. Unlike Qevin, there are no concessions for him to give to anyone. He gives in to the less extreme folks, he is toast with the extreme ones.
So he has one path forward: bully or bribe the holdouts.
Qevin and Scalise when bribed will get their voters to fall in line. The rest will have to be bullied.
