the world. it s not one of those positiono you give tgiveo elderly men who have campaigned from the b their basement. if you wantent. to be the guy in ls second in line from the presidency in america, you ve got to work for it. to work and kevin mccarthy ca has worked for it this week.t whatever you think othinf, theyt the feeling mccarthy would crawl naked through a sewer to get this gig. et thi s and that s not necessarily an insult, by the way. it s what it takes, obviously. maybe it s what it should take. so if you take a deep breath and you think about it foringtor a second, nothing we have seen in washington recently the supposedly apocalyptic world ending drama of politicians arguing with each. s none of it qualifies as especially unusual or even bad. this is what democracy lookst up like when you get up close. i want one thing.ote to s you want another thing. we schedule a vote to seecase who gets it, or in this case, eleven votes, but whatever . bu how is
senate. we ve got the house.at we ve.e got to get the senate. we ve got to get the presidency. we ve got to stop things. and so this has been very has b helpfueel up to a point.oss but when you look across the aisle and you see these e thjackie ibanez and they ve gh discipline, man, whenen they vote, they don t havehey e one dissident. and when nancy pelosi heardeopl that some people wanted to cut off ukrainwae,e in her party, se did to guillotine them. s and that was ithe gui. force re up against a formidable force that has the senate. they ve got the presidency and they ve got iron cladency discipline, an even as a minori and we ve got to be realistic that if we don t stick to hang hang together, we re going to hang separately. so i think i think.rthy kevin mccarthy deserves to beera speaker.luessa i think he s got a very valuable message that he can tge ignore these people and the way that paul ryan did. and i think they ll be the better for it if they can inxt the next 40 hours,
