2. I don't buy the lie that all of this isn't costing the Republicans dearly.

And we've completed yet another day without a speaker of the house being elected. The news media keeps all of this in front of us and is making us think that Republicans are still getting support from their base and this isn't moving the political needle at all and this is some kind of political showdown and battle of wills. Nah, I'm not buying that. Not at all. It's like they're in a barrel about to go over Niagara Falls. The media needs the ratings they get from reporting suspense. I honestly don't think it's that close. And if it is, then God help us because we're too ignorant and stupid to be trusted with democracy and we're going to lose it.
