There was absolutely no reason for Democrats to bail out Kevin McCarthy. He has been carrying Donald Trump's water for years, even after Trump tried to subvert the peaceful transfer of power following a free and fair election. He didn't stick to the deal he made just a few months ago to avoid a debt default. Who could trust him to keep any promise?
Personally I wouldn't give any more consideration to the Democrats than I will to the Republicans. The reality we are dealing with is a butt load of wealthy and often ancient people who have little to do with taking care of business. Especially the People's business. I often wonder how the voters are left with such poor candidates and incumbents to chose from. Most of us have little to do with any of that really, we are expected to vote on the two choices we are given and that is it. It is so predictable that in a month we are going to be faced with yet another financial crisis and whoever leads Congress as Majority leader will be just as unlikely to get anything done and that assumes there is even a Majority leader chosen by that time! Saving the tax payer money is not even on their radar, or they would actually get something done!
Well said! McCarthy was no leader. In the hearings on Benghazi he admitted that prolonging the hearings to try to discredit Clinton was the main purpose and finding the truth to prevent future attacks was never an objective. He dishonored the memory of those who died in the attack for his own political purposes. For good reason he was kept off of the January 6 commission. And now his absurd impeachment hearing has blown up.

Agreed. Seems like neither side could trust him.

Thank you for your insightful analysis. McCarthy created the monster, and it was only a matter of time before it turned on him.
