4 thoughts on “Speaker fight stagnates as House Republicans fail to find consensus

  1. For those of us who feel the Republican Party is now a gathering of deeply unserious individuals incapable of serious governance, this entire episode just calcifies that belief.

  2. The saddest thing is that the few sane Republicans left could form a coalition with the Democrats to put an end this TRUMPIAN craziness in the former Republican Party and get on with serving the best interest of the vast majority of the people that need a functional government.
