In retrospect, wrote former GOP strategist Tim Miller for The Bulwark, it was inevitable that Republicans would go down this path.
"For about a decade and a half now the governing wing of the party has attempted every strategy imaginable to delay handing congressional leadership power to the group of lawmakers who better represent the desires of today’s GOP voters — the erstwhile renegades the late John McCain dubbed 'wacko birds,'" wrote Miller. "That group has grown from only a handful of troublemakers to a significant bloc of Congress that’s bolstered by an additional group of 'closet normals' who dress in wacko bird costumes for the retweets."
"Among the many lowlights of this long-running spectacle of appeasement: engaging in wildly irresponsible brinkmanship, granting plum committee assignments to kooks, submitting to power-sharing arrangements and hosting struggle sessions with the House Freedom Caucus, launching sham impeachment inquiries, holding umpty-nine explicitly political hearings over a deadly embassy attack, flying down to an extremely dated South Florida resort to take degrading pictures with a wannabe authoritarian, defending a drag queen fabulist in their ranks, and, most egregiously, agreeing to be complicit in an attempt to overthrow our democracy to soothe the bruised ego of the man-baby-in-chief," Miller continued.

"So long as the Republican leaders kept giving inch after inch after inch on the Fox outrage du jour, they could avoid an intraparty coup and retain power — until some glorious day in the future when sanity would return and their torment at the hands of these nutjobs would be over," Miller wrote. "Eventually you run out of road."

Thanks for the reference. I read it years ago. Now I’ll go and reread it.
“Gaetz broke one of their political machines.”
Correct. He removed, bodily, one of their leaders.
And it’s not like he didn’t telegraph what would happen if leadership didn’t do certain things. But they laughed him off since they counted on the Democrats bailing them out. But the Democrat s weren’t interested in helping, so McCarthy was deposed, due to his own insidious machinations.
These are the classic out of touch elitists. They’re the top hat-wearing first class passengers on the Titanic, heading off to the lounge for a fine cigar and brandy as the ship sinks, tut-tutting along the way at the silly commotion coming from the peasants below. They simply can’t conceive of anything outside their little insulated bubble being important.

Wacko birds? I would say that taking corrupt payments from S&Ls and advocating a war in a country on every continent is the mark of a true wacko bird, even if McCain thought himself entitled to a state funeral that cost us taxpayers a fortune and seemed to last forever.
What happened to Kevin McCarthy is what routinely happens to traitors.
When someone betrays his own, to gain favor with the opponent, he is NEVER again trusted by ANYONE.
A person who will stab his own in the back cannot be trusted by his new “friends.” They immediately recognize the traitor is only loyal to himself.
Betrayal becomes its own punishment.
Nice to see the GOP transparency and who they side with.............the rats
So often the uniparty/MSM liars need to look in a dam mirror.
Who remembers moron IQ level (literally) Ga Congressman “WACKO” Johnson so eloquently verbalizing his fears IN A HEARING that the Island Guam might tip over and sink???

Mark Levin and Dan Bongino are still spewing against Gaetz and the hated Eight.
I have no clue what keeps Levin’s panties in a wad over that.
“Mark Levin and Dan Bongino are still spewing against Gaetz and the hated Eight.”
All Mark Levin does is spew and yell and say Mr. Producer.
He’s a very smart man but I could never stand listening to him. He’s sometimes spot-on and sometimes out of touch.

“…the governing wing of the party has attempted every strategy imaginable to delay handing congressional leadership power to the group of lawmakers who better represent the desires of today’s GOP voters”
So this “strategist’s” strategy is to give the voters something they do not want. Hopefully this guy will remain unemployed for a long time.
Remember, Levin was a rabid anti-Trumper for a long time.
They show themselves.. They, in congress want power. Mccarthy had it for a short time. Thanks to Gaetz, Mccarthy was nipped in the bud.
Power... They want it and Trump’s personality offends some. Strong and unhampered.
Not knowing how to do it right, in 2, 3 years they have wrecked the place.
Miller was included by The Washington Post on a list of Republicans "who hate Donald Trump the most".[13] In November 2020, Miller announced he had left the Republican Party.[14][15] He donated to a Democratic Party Candidate during the 2020 Alabama Senate race.[1
Miller is openly gay. He attributes his decision to take the risk of coming out in 2007, while still working on Republican campaigns, in part to the Larry Craig scandal.[4]
Who is the drag queen he mentions?
Another McCain adviser added to our list.
They just want your money. Not you..
I think miller should take his sh*t to the Democratic Party. Maybe he can suck off some money from them for awhile.
Funny how since shortly after Reagan’s time the corporate media has always chosen “stalwart”, reliably RINO, bluebloods with a fake “R” in front of their name to represent all Republicans in any tv or other public forum.
I’m sure Miller was a blue diaper baby raised by respectful, corporate, rockefeller-republicans.
