The "fight" to vote in another Speaker is just crazy to me. All of a sudden it seems to be more important that the Democratic Speaker of the House look more like America than it is to have someone in that office who knows her way around the processes of the House. So we'd be trading optics for experience and success? That hardly seems like a good bargain.
This is no time for OJT. We need someone who can kick azz and take names, count votes and deal with McConnell. Don't you just know that the Republicans would like nothing more than to have the Dems fork over this win in the house to a neophyte who they could run circles around? Why play into Putin's hand?
