All This House Speaker Drama

 I sat and tried to contemplate all the bad 'evil' things that this drama over not being agreeable on McCarthy not getting the House Speaker job on the first/second ballots.

My list?  Zero.

He was stupid in moving all of his furniture and people into the House Speaker office area.  I'm guessing his 'crew' are pretty peeved now.

The threat made that the evil twenty-odd people who didn't agree with the Majority Leader....they wouldn't be assigned to committees?  That just compounded things.  

As for Wednesday and what happens?  A third ballot with McCarthy's name on it will occur, and two or three new people will go to NO-McCarthy group.  I think a two-hour lunch will then occur, with a 4th ballot failure occurring, and around 7 PM....the 5th will be prepared without McCarthy's name on it.  Someone will then get the 'pick'.

Any of this really worth getting hyped-up about?  No.  I'm sure the McCarthy 'crew' are peeved about their moving back to the old office, and this will sit upon their criticisms for a month or two....but it's fake drama.
