Elise Stefanik nominating McCarthy - with a very clearly telegraphed standing ovation for Kevin, who sat amidst the clappers and feigned surprise with very little enthusiasm. Man looks pretty glum - more like a guy who's dog has just been run over, than someone about to become no.2 in the presidential succession.

The fact that there is a nonzero chance that we could wind up with a Democratic Speaker speaks volumes about the competence of the GOP leadership.

Well the unprincipled opportunist is offering up red meat shrill (so shrill that I had to turn down the sound) partisan cliched pablum. That seems inappropriate. Who approved that speech?

This speech from Stefanik might age like milk if she ends up voting for the plan B speaker on a future ballot

She’s one of the most cynical politicians in America. The definition of an empty suit.

Stefanik makes Tracy Flick look like a principled idealist.
