Why do simple answers elude smart people?

First up: The Republican candidates for President in the 2024 Primary.
I keep hearing from some of the defeated cowards (DeSantis comes to mind) that they signed a pledge to support the nominee. Trump refused to sign the pledge. Now, I know that the pledge is not a legal document and not binding. But even as a moral document, if one candidate didn't sign, he is exempt. Let me give you an example. You and I make a bet on a football game. You refuse to acknowledge the bet. I am not obligate to pay you if I lose.
Next up: Vacating the Speakership:
Speaker Johnson can't win without some Democrats voting to "not vacate". MTG's motion cannot pass without near unanimous Democratic support of her motion to vacate. The Democrats must choose the lesser of 2 evils. I generally don't like that term, because more often than not, one side is not evil at all. But in this case, it really is appropriate.
