Top U.S. House Republican Kevin McCarthy could face an untimely end to his role as speaker if party hardliners oust him, for averting a costly government shutdown on Saturday with a stopgap bill that drew more support from Democrats than Republicans.
It's for this reason I'd actually support a few dems, either safe or from moderate districts crossing the aisle to help. McCarthy is an ass, but he was willing to be an adult (mind you 5 seconds from too little too late) to get this done and I'd rather him than the alternative during the next 45 days.
Besides, it's a wonderful opportunity to neuter the freedom cocks.
