But I think it was a really good night tonight. And, you know, tomorrow we go count votes.
"I really am optimistic speaker by tomorrow night," he continued."I think we've committed to it I think everybody did." "This isn’t about just our conference. It’s not about the institution. It’s about the American people," D'Esposito said."They want us to get back to work."Candidates for speaker are leaving the private forum.
