One fascinating thing about the House Republican's self-immolation is how it is substanceless.

McCarthy's opponents have no specific complaints about McCarthy.

They just don't like him.

And McCarthy has no specific rationale for being Speaker.

He just wants power.

@juddlegum But they do have one thing in common which is the rationale for their being - hate. They hate members of the Democratic Party. They Adore Putin. Putin hates member of the Democratic Party so we are all on board with Putin. Whatever, Putin wants is fine with us.

Is this any way to be an American? Particularly a patriotic American?
