14. Trying to imagine someone equivalent to the malevolent ambitious Matt Gaetz

But of course that person is/would have been MTG and she’s leaving so…

If she manages to scrape up 8 Rs, whose the unlucky stooge they’d find to replace Mike Johnson?

I could see her doing this just to create chaos though. Make Mikey sweat.

One other thing, after his reprehensible delay in swearing in Adelita Grijalva, I’d rest easier if some other worm with even less power were SOTH for the 2026 swearing in. If there’s shameless shenanigans to be pulled to thwart the transfer of power, Mike Johnson will do whatever he can to prevent a Dem majority House
