I must say, even for this crew, this is really epic. McCarthy has dropped out of the Speaker’s race. In favor of …? Well, no one. I’m now watching Rep.

But good lord!
You can half imagine Boehner having imagined this all along – I will say I think that the chaos Boehner knew would come after him and how much that demonstrated how much they needed him was not the cause but definitely a fringe benefit of his departure.

What a friggin’ mess.
