Whilst the republican base was cheering wildly when Marco Rubio announced John Boener's impending resignation as the Speaker of the House, I was wondering, will they finally do it? Will the base finally push one of their true believers into the leadership position and try to shove their radical right wing agenda down American's collective throats and relegate themselves to permanent minority status as a party?
Say what you will about Boehner and Mitch McConnell as both have beliefs not all that different than your average republican, but at least they're both not fucking nuts. While I'd wager that the powers that be are going to see that Kevin McCarthy (with the help of the only sane political party left in this country, the Democrats) is the next Speaker, you have to wonder how emboldened they will be after Americans did not punish republicans in 2014 despite their attempts to shut down the government for shits and grins.
I'd say it's going to make for great political theater except for the fact that republicans have shown again and again that they don't give a rat's ass about the least among us and their antics could inflict some serious pain on America's poor and working class.
But that's kind of their point, isn't it?
Peace,
