Online Public Relations Thoughts

The House after two days and six votes still doesn't have a Speaker.  It is an embarrassment for the nominee, Kevin McCarthy.  It is also a political mess from which McCarthy might not recover even if he does win on a future ballot.  McCarthy and the rebels are talking past one another.  They are communicating but not persuading.  It isn't clear if and when McCarthy might change their opposition to support.  Meanwhile, Democrats in the chamber are watching the fight with glee.  Republicans have descended into chaos and cannot form a strong voting block. They were weakened in the November elections. They have fallen apart in choosing a Speaker.  Look for a contentious two years.
