At some point, GOP leadership has to recognize that the MAGAs and the so-called RINOs are are so far apart that they’re unable to whip enough votes in their caucus for any candidate. If they can’t elect a speaker on their own, the responsible thing to do is to reach out to the Democrats and see what sort of terms they’d ask for in return for support in a speaker vote. It may be as simple as any bill with the sponsors from both major parties can get scheduled for a floor vote.

So you know that's going to be the absolute last option they try.

In civilized countries, this would result in dissolution, votes of no confidence, or recalls, and a snap election.
Or they could just elect Hakeem Jeffries.
