    The landslide means Republicans are favored to take the House again. So… pretty good, depending on whether Johnson and Thune can get all their little ducklings in a row.

    Of course, Republicans have a long and storied history of getting into office and then immediately ratfvcking one another. So, we’ll see what they actually get done versus what they bicker to death. Can the GOP even get a Speaker nominated properly this time?

      Do we even know what would happen if there is no speaker by the time the Congress votes to ratify the EC votes on Jan 6? Can they do it later, or does that push it into a contingent election?

      What if the GOP can’t get the House in order by Jan 20? Can the Senate still vote for a contingent VP if the House is dysfunctional? I’d laugh if Vance ends up President because the GOP House is full of children.
