Put a group of forty or so inexperienced but audacious men (any women here?) in the House of Representatives and you get chaos. The so-called Freedom Caucus in the U.S. House is not only not getting what they want, they may end up helping the Democrats. Huffington Post has provided details for this story of plans gone awry in the Republican-led House.
Rep. Steny Hoyer even went so far as to say the Democrats would welcome Republican help in electing Nancy Pelosi the next Speaker. And if none of the pundits is supporting this idea as even a possibility, we shouldn't be too worried. They didn't foresee either Speaker Boehnner's resignation or Kevin McCarthy's stand-down either. So what good are the pundits?
Beyond the fracas over Republican leadership, it is as good a time as any to talk about Republican gerry-mandering, along with a whole host of Republican voter-suppression dirty tricks all over this country. If the Republicans are suffering a noxious intra-family row in the House, who should be crying tears of sorrow? Certainly not this writer.
Republicans May Need Democrats' Help to Solve Leadership Crisis
