1. All McCarthy would need to do is make a deal with Democrats to insure he keeps his speakership, and

in return he will honor the original agreement, no shutdowns

3. I agree that his speakership is in immediate danger, but he's attempting to play both sides

Yesterday there was news coverage of historical precedents of Republicans and Democrats coming together to avert a shutdown, birth sides getting something they wanted, but McCarthy hasn't the experience or the ability to achieve any compromise.

2. Back in my olden days in the Navy

We weren’t “sent home for the weekend” if mission had not been achieved. That’s because Navy Leaders knew/know how to LEAD. That was the rule. For those who care naught about the American citizenry it is the exception.

4. The Republicans aren't working for the country, they're working to satisfy TFG.
