The real thing to notice here is that the Ds are monolithic. Out of 212 of them, not a single one seems to have an individual soul.
Happy that McCarthy needed to offer concessions to win – although, ideally, he would have done this before the first vote 🙂
It was better that he didn’t, because now everything is out in the open.
The most significant. but (as far as I’ve seen) unremarked story here is that if most of Trump’s biggest supporters hadn’t ignored his wishes and endorsement, NONE of those concessions would have ever been made.
You could simply say they don’t have souls, as a group or individually. No communist does.
They did not have a Trey Gowdy to pretend to be on the conservative side while controlling them.
The rumor is that the agreed-upon rules that broke the logjam will not be approved. The next thing that should happen, should that be the case, is a motion to vacate the chair.
I was amusing while it lasted and I really, really hope that those who stood up continue to do so.
