Mitchell PlitnickThe thing about the Speaker fight is that we're witnessing a fight between a rogue group of #Republicans who don't want to bother with the pretense of governing at all against the GOP majority that wants to maintain that pretense but also has no real interest in governance.
Kit Indigo@MitchellPlitnick I'm enjoying seeing Jim Jordan caught in the mix. He does not want to be speaker, but the raucous caucus that he helped gain power are trying to force him to be. It's too amusing.
Beth Meacham@kitindigo @MitchellPlitnick If they succeed in making him Speaker, he'll quit in a month. He hates actually working.
@bethmeacham @MitchellPlitnick He's terrified that his friends will demand of him all the things he complained about others not doing. Which he cannot possibly do. They're setting him up to be taken down.
