Rep. Charlie Dent (R-PA) spoke with CNN Thursday afternoon right after Rep. Kevin McCarthy announced he was dropping out of the run for Speaker of the House. Dent was angry with the so-called Freedom Caucas and Tea Party Caucus who were part of the reason McCarthy didn't sell.

"The next Speaker should not appease those who make unreasonable demands. There are a number of members of our conference. You cannot get the yes on anything. For them the end will be the good. In my view it's come time to marginalize those members who doesn't want to be part of the governing majority."

But not only does he want to "marginalize" those conservative voices who cheered Boehner's departure before cheering McCarthy's, he wants to work with the other side to get someone the establishment would deem acceptable.

I've said for some time that in order to pass anything out of the House we need to assemble a bipartisan coalition whether it's on the continuing resolution, the debt ceiling, we will have to assemble a bipartisan coalition. That's the reality of this place and I don't think that any of our leaders should make accommodations to those who are going to make unreasonable demands...

CNN's Dana Bash jumped in right there to clarify the discussion, saying the conservatives see this as a success and asking "how can the next Speaker become the next Speaker without ... appeasing those who are demanding that?"

"We might have to assemble a bipartisan coalition on the floor to elect the next speaker then. I mean, that's what it could come down to."

Again, Bash presses more, asking somewhat incredulously if he actually believes they can get Democrats to vote for a Republican for Speaker. And off the rails again goes Dent:

I don't know what will happen. Anything is possible now. It's pretty clear to me that a number of us are not going to simply appease or exceed to those who will make unreasonable demands. And so I suspect in order to govern around here we need a bipartisan coalition on all major bills. If we can't get 218 Republican votes for a Speaker, then we'll have to try other options. I don't know what those options are, but I certainly don't want to put somebody in the Speaker's job who is going to appease those who are making unreasonable demands.

This is the leadership that backed McCarthy. More willing to go to the Democrats than to go to the mattresses on conservative issues.

No wonder there's a revolution underway.
