I am surprised no one has photoshopped McCarthy into the Cersei shame walk yet.

Conservatives should do this at baseline, get their kink out in a healthy way.

JC, 10 rounds already. I know he doesn't care and just wants to be speaker but you would think by now he would feel shame for being such a failure as a leader.

Name a single Republican that has felt shame about anything in the past decade.

As someone else said, even when Republicans figure this out, it's not like they'll be agreeing on much legislatively. Seems like it should be easy for Democrats to frame next election as "Get shit done" party vs "Do nothing" party ... Can disagree on what to get done, but seems like most voters would be anti-status quo. I'm sure Dems will mess up the messaging though.

Has McCarthy tried prayer?

NY Times Pitchbot:

One silver lining for McCarthy is that once the number of votes goes over 16, Matt Gaetz will probably lose interest.

None of this is surprising to anyone who pays even the slightest bit of attention over the last decade, its not some secret the GOP is a dumpster fire and can't be trusted to run a lemonade stand at this point.  Sadly very few people pay any attention and just vote for the "other guy/party."
