I can only imagine the vitriol that will be spewed and the frustration of the country regarding the INEPTNESS of the functioning of the House.
If MTG were to be voted in as Speaker, the chaos in the House will be astronomical.

If they end up with a one or two seat majority, they are gonna have ten or twenty Manchin/Sinema wannabes. On everything, important and trivial alike.
