There’s been a lot of talk about popcorn and the hilarity of Kevin McCarthy’s humiliation. Honestly, I find all the chaos and nihilism and ignoring of the responsibility to govern just plain sad.

@StevenBeschloss And it introduces the real possibility that the crazy wing of the GOP will hold greater sway than they already do, by requiring McCarthy to give away even more power in order to secure their support.

I am now in favor of Ds nominating someone like Upton, who could grab the speaker's job with 6 Rs.
