LA Times' Jim Rainey on how the McCarthy stalemate is playing on Fox News and other conservative media. One suggestion to GOP leaders: Get good and drunk.

Breaking a 100-year streak, McCarthy couldn't secure the speakership in one vote, and he couldn't even do it in 11 votes.
And since no Republican will vote for Hakeem Jeffries, Juan Guaidó has unilaterally declared himself Speaker of the House of Representatives.

Elaina McCartney#SpeakerStandoff The insurrection continues, disguised as a government process. "Rebels" is a an incorrect term. They are the same seditionists, celebrating #January6, clumsily continuing their mindless and greedy attempt to hamstring the government and garner media attention. Ironically, whichever Republican they end up promoting to Speaker promises not to be up to this leadership job. What a cluster. Meanwhile, the Biden White House continues to quietly work for the people.

I see the GOP is still intent on dismantling the House of Representatives (to be fair it needs some changes) on its way to dismantiling government.
Starting to believe that they’ve twisted themselves (and us) into such an untanglable knot that no one is going to know what’s real and what’s not once this is over.
But then, I think that’s been the point of all of this. Easier, more profitable, and less messy than breaking windows and beating up police officers.

I would love to see this in the U.S. House, with Democrats voting with moderate Republicans to pick a moderate R as speaker. Do you see that happening? #USHouse #SpeakerStandoff #McCarthy #HakeemJeffries
