Are you sure your grip on reality is so tight that you can judge the state of another man’s head?
What happens on C-SPAN is a lot of posturing for the camera. The real negotiations, if they happen at all, happen between the Speaker, the President pro Tempe, the President and whoever the party whips have to cajole on that vote.
