“I propose to fight it out on this line if it takes all summer.”- U.S. Grant.
“McCarthy’s good enough, just elect someone, it looks bad.”- Establishment GOP.
Dems choose speakers in backroom deals, elect them in 1 ballot. GOP argues it out in public, clarifying issues. Messy but free. If you think it is too messy, watch the raucous, noisy debates in the British parliament. In contrast, watch the smooth, non-confrontational functioning of “parliaments” in Russia and China. Are these the role models we should emulate?
