The Middle Holds 

 House Speaker Kevin McCarthy trusted his middle of the road Republicans to give him a win along with centrist Democrats.  Both acted wisely and provided a glimmer of a path forward for Congress -- appealing to the middle with messages of consensus.  This will anger Hard Right Republicans and Hard Left Democrats, but it can get the country's work done, providing budgets and appropriations and other laws.  If McCarthy succeeds, he will be a friend of Biden who believes in making deals to move legislation forward.  It is a statement that no one gets everything, but all get something.  Would it be too much to ask Congress to move forward in this manner?
