    It all depends on how willing the rest of the Republican Caucus is to force out the Freedom Caucus nutters. I don’t believe a majority of their caucus is aligned with them, because if they were, they would have never moved the Debt Ceiling or CR votes forward. Both votes were overwhelmingly bipartisan, with a majority of Republicans specifically voting against burning it all down in both votes.
