The Speaker debacle will end

When the donor class finally has enough. They want more tax breaks and more regulations erased, and they especially want to get their claws into Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and the ACA by taking the wrecking ball to all of them.

Too much money to make with the r thugs in charge of even one chamber of Congress, so they won't let this go on much longer. The donors will eventually call their favorite poodles in the r thug caucus and tell them that the spigot will go stone dry if they don't get a Speaker installed, and soon.
