“Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX) on electing a House speaker: “It’s a dangerous game that we’re playing. It just proves our adversaries right that democracy doesn’t work. Our adversaries are watching us.”

From C-SPAN

Just on a personal note first: If you are familiar with both Representative Michael McCaul and former Representative Adam Kinzinger and now CNN political commentator Adam Kinzinger, they might remind you of each other as far as how they talk, their voices, and ideologically they’re very similar center-right, Conservative Republicans as well.

As far as what Representative McCaul said here, he’s completely right. To use a sports analogy: imagine a football team without a QB, you wouldn’t have an offense or a leader. The Speaker of the House is the leader of the entire House of Representatives. When that office is vacant, the whole place basically shuts down as far as offering bills and amendments, passing any legislation, conducting oversight, etc.

Thanks to the Far-Right of the House Republican Conference, House Republicans look like Karaoke Night at Bob’s Diner or some place. They look like a bunch of amateurs who don’t know what the hell they are doing. But at least they all have the same person to thank for that, Matt Gaetz.
