Many moons ago, back when this side of the divide was a lonely place, I would go to conservative websites and make the point that most Republicans did not like the people they claim to represent. About a third of the party's elected officials would prefer to be in the other party, but circumstances forced them into the GOP. They said what needed to be said, but they resented having to say it in order to get elected.
I am not going to add anything deep or philosophical. Someone I work with was angry and frustrated with the Rs not being able to find a Speaker. I looked at him and said: 'So what? Who cares? They do not govern when they have power, and cede control to the Ds. Then, when they are in the minority, they complain. Let it all burn down'. I really do not care. My focus is on maintaining my SHTF stocks and adding more.
They can’t pick a leader because they don’t know where they want to be lead. Well said. I’m reminded of the scene in the BBC version of I Claudius with Derek Jacobi when the praetorian guard grab him and say will make him the next emperor because he appears to be so innocuous.
I have to disagree with the notion that the Speaker of the House is a small potatoes issue...There is a small but real chance that the Speaker could become President of this madhouse, and everyone in Congress is aware of that....
Would you stop bickering! Our country was just attacked by raving, blood thirsty lunatics. We have three carrier groups on three separate oceans ready to defend our country and drive out the suicidal maniacs on our borders once and for all. Let's all man up and focus on our country's priorities here. It doesn't matter who is Speaker right now. We've got a brutal urban warfare all-out-war on our western and northern borders that we have to win. We'll get a Speaker, hopefully with dual citizenship like most of the President's cabinet, when we've dealt with our border threats.

I don't see a way out of this.
I agree with rickety fence, every day more lies & spitting in "legacy americans"face
Professional wrestling has more meaning than our political system.
