Both Republicans likely need the support of Democrats to prevail in their battle over the speakership. Here’s how that could shake out.

    Gaetz has been building up his degeneracy for several years now. I get the feeling his finale is nearer now than it has ever been before. He is a very weird man who does not have the best interests of his constituents in mind. He certainly does not represent our country’s values.

      I think Gaetz has realized that Trump is his only possible path to power. With his past misdeeds, running a traditional campaign is a complete no-go for him.

      He absolutely needs to leverage that base of insane people who will vote as they're told, no matter what, which Trump has hypnotized.

      I suspect that's why he's also trying to copy the looks of one of those crazy televangelists.
