Whoever it is, it won't matter.
The Assistant Democrats won't vote for a strong conservative.
The Gaetz Kamikazes won't vote for anything who anyone who isn't a strong conservative.
Refresh my memory. How did McCarthy get the position without the Geatz Kamikazes voting for him?
They did, after 15 attempts, and then Gaetz decided to blow it all up.
He likes to claim it was because McCarthy didn't keep his promise with the 45 day spending bill. However, that bill passed only after Gaetz and company voted against a spending bill with 8% cuts across the board for most things, so he torpedoed a good bill to ensure a bad one passed that he could then blow up over.
Also, Gaetz wanted McCarthy to end the Ethics Committee's investigation of him, and McCarthy refused so there is likely something more personal involved.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill
