I read the entire article.
A complete waste of time.
Kevin McCarthy will be the next Speaker.
His district is quite heavily Mexican-American.
Figure it out.
Not at all a waste, great history background.
The money quote:
“Since the Civil War, electing a speaker has relied on the majority party buying off dissident factions, either with policy concessions or powerful House positions. “
And that is exactly what is inclined to happen here. If not then the Dem/RINO alliance Boehner led will continue- to the detriment of all Republicans no matter who is Speaker.
More importantly, it explains Boehner’s disastrous tenure: HE WOULD NOT COMPROMISE, HE WOULD NOT GIVE CONSERVATIVES EITHER POLICY CONCESSIONS OR POSITIONS.
The media narrative is the opposite of course.
