Giddy Goofus strikes again!

[senseandsensibility]

Giddy Goofus was my nickname for McCarthy when he smiled and giggled like a lunatic after he sold his soul to the freedom caucus and achieved his dream after 15 bruising rounds.

Now the Giddy Goofus is saying he doesn't need the Democrats. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT, you fool!

1. He only needs the dems to stay on as speaker

But the dems probably can't save his house seat if he gets primaried for giving us everything we want in return.

So it's a question of does he want the speakership for the remainder of his last term in the house, and then no wingnut welfare, or give up the big office and keep his cushy govt job and perks until it looks like he would be primaried, then retire into some university or think tank or k street sanctuary.

My guess is he will go quietly. He is a coward, but he likes nice things.

4. You're right

of course. The guy's loony tunes. Of course if he says he needs Dems that will be his death knell with the knuckle draggers. What a bed he has made for himself.

3. He is going all in

If he wins, then Gaetz is weakened and Kevin keeps his job. Plus other calls to vacate may dry up.

If he loses, the Repubs are in even more chaos and he looks like a victim. Poor Kevin.

5. But the only way he can go all in

is by getting D's to vote for him and he seems to be making no moves in that direction.
