It’s not so very wrong, as the position requires balance. The Speaker does need to have powers, and if you negotiate or delegate away those powers, you essentially become impotent and meaningless.

No one said that the Speaker should not have any power but they are not the only person who matters in the House.

It is the PEOPLE'S HOUSE not the fiefdom of a dictator. We are not liberals yearning for some "strong Swamper" to run our lives.

And Lutz's boy friend has made himself impotent and meaningless.

So, what! He had dinner with Schwab, likely means nothing!

Churchill while in Europe well before the war researching for his book on his ancestor John Churchill, later the Duke of Marlborough met with and interviewed Mussolini. Tried to set up a meeting with Hitler but Hitler wouldn’t allow himself to be questioned. He didn’t approve of the ‘question topics’.

How better to understand your potential adversary then a polite dinner conversation!

You could just as easily argue it’s McCarthy who is wasting time.

It absolutely IS McCarthy who is wasting time. Why does this a-hole think he is entitled to the seat? If he had any decency or self-respect, he would have dropped out after rejection #3 at the latest. We're on #8 now, and this moron still can't accept that he isn't wanted as Speaker. At least, he isn't wanted by the voting base and the few MAGA types we have in the House. I'm sure the Deep State loves him.

A speaker has to have power over flock. That power shouldn’t be abused, but it shouldn’t be abused by the general representatives. McCarthy has given away so much power, should a speaker ever be selected, each season will open with a prayer, the pledge and an order to vacate the chair.

Watch. He’s given away the store. No matter who the speaker ultimately will be , they will be neutered as far as leadership power goes.
