For the life of me, I cannot think of a less effective Speaker than Johnson.

Can anyone tell me anything of great significance that he's done for the good of the country?

He should be pushing to get the DOGE cuts made permanent. Is he? Nope.

He's the kind of guy that walks into a room and no one notices. The majority of the country is waiting for him to do something and will support his efforts, but he DOES NOTHING.

I think he was elected Speaker for this very reason.

Given how he was elected, it’s not surprising he’s feckless. He’s more of a placeholder than someone with a mandate.

Not promoting Johnson he's been doing little more than nothing good, but Pelosi held the gavel for what 8 years doing nothing but screwing the American people to her own benefit....

This sums up what the Republicans in Congress have accomplished this year:

The job is too big for him. It's just that simple.

He's compromised. Either by blackmail or threats against his family.

Everything he was against, he is now for. It's the most blatant flip-flop in history.

Well,I would say this is the Repub's own fault ( and I am one) because he was like the 89 candidate that they ran up there because the group could not coalesce around one of the R leaders. Now you know why nothing on the R agenda gets done.

So now you have Massie and Rand Paul running counter to the Trump Admin. So the net is we will get absolutely nothing done while we have majorities.

Hell, Pelosi sent out death threats to any Dems that didnt toe the line...

Getting exactly what we voted for.

As much as I hate it, someone like Mike (traditionally conservative, but too consensus-oriented to really lead) is probably the best we could hope for. The more aggressive change-maker would never get the GOPe votes to win. I was just glad we didn't get another sell-out.

Unfortunately, the change we're looking for won't happen quickly. Our only hope is that we somehow sustain the movement to root out waste & corruption well past the Trump presidency.

Boehner, Ryan, McCarthy?

GOP hasn’t elected a speaker worth two shits since Newt.

And don't think for one second that's not by design.
