As I said in my edit, there's apparently been reports of threats to 'the rebels' by the McCarthy team and supporters.

Now I might not be a lifelong politician, but when the premise of ANY deal is trust that you follow through yet you have your supporters calling them terrorists, taliban and threatening to cut them off from committees, privileges and effectively blacklisting them within the party, who the fuck would believe that any deal will be honored?

You might as well go 'fuck you, you want to end this, get someone else to run or vote Democrat!'
