So why would it not be a good thing to have a mostly moderate speaker of the house? I guess it could be that those who are Democrats are enjoying the spectacle of the GOPs dysfunction. I can understand that. Maybe I can be enlightened.
A mostly moderate speaker would be a good thing if that person had character, which McCarthy does not. McCarthy is/was Trump's lap puppy, helped further the Big Lie and denier of the January 6th insurrection. I doubt there is an honest bone in his body. He is and has been all about promoting himself over the good of the country.
