And isn't it interesting that Gaetz initially backed Emmer and then stabbed him in the back? What's the game plan? Is the plan to kill off all the "moderates" in order to force the House to elect a shut-down-the-government-to-hurt-Biden far right crazy to the speakership?

I don't think you need to get that far into the weeds in trying to find motives. There are a lot of hard right conservatives in the caucus, and they'd prefer to see a hard right conservative be Speaker than someone who's more moderate. Whether they have a specific budget negotiation strategy or not, they just want to see the next Speaker be from their faction within the caucus than a more moderate one. It's not like Emmer was ever close to 217.
