Quote of the day: House Republicans are not ready for prime time. In a sense, they are better at being in the minority.

This story just gets weirder and wilder. I’m also bewildered by the folks who seem to think Liz Cheney would/could ride to the House GOP’s rescue.

One thing’s for sure. The Israel-Hamas war is currently the 24/7 wallpaper on network and cable news. And that situation looks like it’s about to get a hell of a lot worse. Maybe those headlines will force the House GOP to act like the grown ups Kevin McCarthy claimed to be. Or not.

Or I guess the outcome is that the GOP will have to pick a very weak Speaker, because they can't agree on anyone

A "weak" speaker could be more apt to produce bipartisan legislation.

Think about TIm Burchett acting like a grown-up.

So much for forcing anyone to do anything. Oh well.

Burchett has become somewhat of a media darling, because he stops for reporters and gives good sound bites

They got used to playing the victim (being a minority) and can't pivot. Especially without Senate control.
