“I don’t think I like this new Speaker.”

It is the nature of politics that no one gets what they want. Everything is a compromise. There’s also a lot of transnationalism. You vote for my pro-abortion bill, and I’ll vote to authorize those new ships the navy needs. If you’re hard over on the anti-abortion side, then you have to try to figure out if the bill will pass with your vote or whether it’s killed by something else. What you personally want doesn’t matter. If you look at the voting record of any Congressman, you’ll see they do this all the time. If you get 51% of whatever you believe in, you are fabulously successful. The last honest Democrat, Patric Moynahan said, “Politics is all about who gets how much and when.”

I believe the coming out of nowhere to ascend to the Speakership, and having this glossy Christian appearance was the ploy.

It’s fallen apart now.
