Tea party & freedom caucus members very seldom compromise, it's always "My way or the highway" with them,
that said it's time Kevin McCarthy wakes up and smells the roses because they smell like shit and he'll never
become Speaker of the House.

On the other hand I hope Kevin never backs away from his dream and 6 moderate repugs get fed up with
the circus and vote for Hakeem Jeffries, I can dream too!

OR Which do you prefer?
