  The difference is that if anyone of the twenty decides they need a bit of spotlight, they can recall McCarthy on their own.  This is the power they want, the media attention at their whim.
context: McCarthy, reading the list of demands:  
  
  "Look, I'm okay with reducing the power of the speakership and eliminating the House ethics committee but I draw the line at the mandatory mammoth tusk buttplug and maid costume." 
  
  Three minutes later...  
  
  "...okay, but does it have to be for the entire time I'm in office?" >
  
  Yes, and you have to wear nipple clamps, and this leather gimp mask with zipper shut at all times. >
  
  
  this leather gimp mask with zipper shut at all times.
  
  "We only have the one mask but we figured Ted could use a breather." >
  
  Jokes on you the mask connects to Ted’s butthole >
  
  It's OK, it's purely decorative. The collective being known as Ted Cruz receives nutrients and excretes through an array of pores in the skin suit. >
  
  This is their big play everyone. They want to turn congress into a shit show where they have all of the power and can continue to drag the country down to retain power 
  The Republican Party is nothing but grifters and since they don’t have anything to offer the American public except racism and hate this is the route they will go on 
  They will pick a speaker who will agree with all of their wacky rules. They will use these rules to cause chaos in the government. They will blame democrats for this and promise that if they stay in power they will fix it. 
  Rinse. Wash. Get rid of social security. Repeat. >
  
  This forces the Republican Party to either A) become mega cucks to the FC, B) do nothing, ignore the FC and watch the dems tear them apart for being just terrible, or C) reach out to the dems in an attempt to accomplish anything(and really everything) through bipartisanship and concessions. But tbh C might just be a fever dream of mine >
  
  What do you mean the FC? >
  
  He's referring to the Freedom Caucus >
  
  Thanks, I usually refer to them as something else but it’s probably better I know their proper name. >
  
  
  Previously, he had agreed to House rules that would allow five members to push a “motion to vacate” forcing a vote on whether to oust the speaker. Going any lower than that was supposedly a “red line.” Now, a new deal would allow just one person to force a new showdown and McCarthy advocates say there is not really a practical difference between one and five.
  
  And this person is supposed to negotiate legislation as the leader of his party in the House?     I wonder if Boehner and Pelosi go home at night and laugh themselves silly at this empty sack of ambition. >
  
  He's right, though. If you're going to accept a five man motion and 20 people hate him then what's the difference? I cannot believe that the five person concession was offered in the first place. Now he's about to give up choosing who heads committees? What a shit show. He's going to be hamstrung.
