I don't think anyone is applauding the charade.

Problem is, this is what you can expect from the GOP. These are the folks that supposedly represent our interests, and this has been par for the course for some time now. It's why I won't make the effort to go to the polls and vote for them (even though the idiot in the WH convinced me to do so this year).

Much of this is McCarthy's own crap show. He was supposed to put in the effort to build these relationships for the last couple of months. He didn't, so now we aren't being represented AGAIN.

I think I am completely in the corner of the Libertarians now. I will vote for them and stay home if I just don't feel like standing in line. It's like I've always said, dims govern poorly and repubs don't govern at all.
