The way they were smiling, they clearly knew they had the votes. So what happened?
I have three theories:
1) The RINO's knew that their voters had had it with their antics, and that one more vote against a Speaker for being "too Republican" would do them in.
2) The RINO's themselves put up Johnson's name due to his being not as well known as an outspoken Trumper and conservative.
3) They knew that going more weeks without a Speaker would make it harder to cut a deal to keep Pelosi-level spending past November.
Likely it was a combination of all three. Number 2) was probably negated by the media's immediate painting of Johnson as Literally Hitler Part Deaux.
