Does Anyone Else Here Think That The MSM Lowered The Bar For McCarthy So Much....

that if he just shows up in the House - they'll be saying what a great Speaker he is?

After 15 attempts to herd the Repug cats in the House - they say he's gonna be the worst SOTH ever and little will be accomplished over the next 2 years - if he even lasts that long given the concessions he made to get the job.

Now if that ain't 'bar lowering' - I don't know what is!!!
