A few defections, and he's on his way out. No?

Absolutely yes. The few remaining old school GOP are unlikely to oust him, as they still see the chaos that would ensue from a call to open the Speaker's Chair as a bad thing. But from the MAGA side of the conservative coalition, chaos is the point. So as soon as Johnson steps away from MAGA orthodoxy - or doesn't respond quickly enough to a change in MAGA orthodoxy - he's gone. And chaos in the House will ensue.

Maybe I should have said "If Johnson takes one step away from the MAGA line, he'll be 'McCarthyed' ". (Haven't had a chance to use quotes in quotes in a while. They're fun!)
