Let’s put it this way since you’re unwilling to move from your position of continuing to ask for a solution. I won’t ask you for yours since you apparently have none. it appears that several of us seem to think there will be no solution until the people vote in those that will do what we vote them in to do. My opinion. In the meantime, however, the devil we know is better than the devil we don’t know. When Trump is back in office, (and he endorsed him) he can keep an eye on McCarthy and “persuade” him into doing what’s best for the country. That’s in the near term, however, it will be up to us to keep that watchful eye on our elected officials and not let them have Carte Blanche as we have done in the past. We got fat and lazy. No comments please. That was just a turn of phrase.

My solutions. Lee Zelden. If he won't do it, Jim Jordan or Steve Scalise.

Thank you for that. And I got a quick peek at another suggestion: Tulsi. While I think all of the above would do a terrific job, the only solution IMHO is to let the devil we know continue on while we watch the show unfold. We were so underwater for such a long time, and our whole legislative body is infiltrated and driven by money along with our judiciary it may take years before we see any light. I know now that I hardly knew anything about all this until Trump came into office (which I believe was the strategy from the beginning). It is going to take quite a while to sort all this out. I think we are taking small steps to reach the top avoiding a fall rather than leaping from one rung to another ensuring a fall. Keep watching.
