The last two Republican speakers both quit because they couldn’t keep the Howler Monkey Caucus in line long enough to get anything done. Since then, they gotten even more shrill and crazy. Now Kevin thinks he can become speaker on the shoulders of those same howler monkeys. What makes him think it’ll be any better for him, especially given that he’s even more spineless than Paul Ryan.
I think you answered your own question. Qevin thinks he's gonna be okay because he's just going to ride on their shoulders while letting them set the agenda, rather than try to herd them along into doing anything. If something useful gets done, that'll be a bonus. The only important part for him is having that title and whatever power he can hold onto with it. Then the Howler Monkey Caucus, as you say, can take the gavel from him when he retires.
As I describe a certain author:"He's a disgrace former national security advisor. I say 'disgrace' rather than 'disgraced', even though the latter also applies, because he disgraces every community to which he belongs. And until I read his stuff, I hadn't thought it was possible to further disgrace Nazis."
Let's say for the sake of argument that MTG did not know she was addressing an audience of neo-Nazis. The thing is, they knew who *she* is, an elected member of Congress. And they can use her status and presence to upgrade their credibility. MTG is the neo-Nazis' useful idiot.
Kevin McCarthy is the worst McCarthy to have ever served in Congress.

Spoken like a better person than MTG.
We all have our moments. How we deal with it when someone says "nah, not ok" is the real test. You're ok.

And so are you. An old guy like me needs to go back to school every single day.

OT: Phasebook, but I follow a sciencey Ukrainian page there. Even the kiddos are so brave.

Because WITHOUT them, they HAVE no party...

A simple question to ask: "Then why do white supremacists always run as republicans? And WIN with republican votes?"
These idiots NEVER question what it IS about the republican ideology that ATTRACTS this filth...
White supremacists should try running under the democratic banner and see how far that gets them...
THE CALL IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE!
If they lose the white supremacist bloc, they'll never win another election
touche!
Funny that
White supremacy, neo-Nazism, hate speech and bigotry are disgusting and do not have a home in the Republican Party
Just an open-ended Air-B&B deal for which they never have to pay.
Anyway, the progressive wing of the Democrats support Medicare for all, which is the exact equivalent of white supremacy.
They could moderate their extremist policy and compete politically instead of culturally. What a concept.
