My favorite thing about the WaPo editorial is the totally unexamined assumption that if Democrats help the Republicans—a party opposed to doing the business of necessary governance—elect a Republican Speaker, the result will be Republicans getting down to the business of necessary governance.

@JuliusGoat yup.

Any speaker elected with Dem support would have an even harder time governing the house than McCarthy. did. We'll be right back here, only worse. The only real way to have an upside is to continue to allow the right to circular-firing-squad itself into the next election. That sucks, but I think the alternatives suck just as bad if not worse.

Esp. considering that the choices are being narrowed to candidates who endorsed the Jan. 6 riot and overthrowing the election.

@JuliusGoat and once they continue the clusterfuck but with a speaker, it will be the democrats fault and their responsibility to fix 👍🏼
