   When you have to borrow from AOC, you're toast.   
      
   I enjoyed watching a dem strategist speculating that Pelosi and Co. really f'd   
   up on this.   
   His position was this....McCarthy kept the gov't open.   
   Something democrats have long been declaring their top priority.   
   McCarthy did that in bipartisan fashion.   
    But still they decide to vote with Gaetz and co. to take him out in some   
   bizarre political    
   war mentality.   
   Now how will they feel about a Jim Jordan taking the reigns as consequence of   
   their vote?   
   Consider....they could have saved McCarthy by merely giving a few "present   
   votes".   
   He joked that it's not that hard to press the yellow button in the middle.   
   Imagine a Republican speaker so damaged and only keeping his seat due to dems?   
   But dems couldn't see the political value in that.   
   How about having Trump serve a few months in the Speaker's chair?   
   You think they might have some regrets for making that possible?
