“Instead, they will prepare four separate spending bills, most of which reflect the deep cuts sought by the party’s right flank. Those are certain to be rejected by the Democratic-controlled Senate, as they are far below spending levels outlined in a deal with Democratic President Joe Biden earlier this year.”

Sure, he might keep his Speaker job for now, but he’ll get primaried the instant he’s up for reelection.
He’s damned if he does, and damned even quicker if he doesn’t. And even if he cuts a deal with Democrats, GOP crazies will just spend all of their time forcing new votes for Speaker.
He wanted the job. He knew or should have known it was a trap. I have zero sympathy for him. (I know you don’t either, I’m just tired of the bullshit from that party.)
He’s GOP. They’re all damned.
