#1 Isn't McCarthy thought of as some kind of RINO? Would it be just an illusion of balance?

#4 OK for step 1.
Then when Trump/Spence term expires but The Biden Pretendership is not certified by the Electoral College, you have Acting President ~~Pelosi~~ McCarthy.

#5 /\ Merc, if that happens, you win my new Christmas $25. Home Depot gift card and a tearful man-hug.

#6 Lot of "Ifs" would have to be satisfied, but fun to think about. McCarthy seems far less wobbly than Lindsey G.

#7 Lindsey G is so wobbly he makes jello look like granite.by comparison.

#8 Re:#5: I appreciate the thought, B., but a) Home Depot is on my she-it list for incompetence and b) I left San Francisco to get away from that she-it.

#9 /\ Perhaps we'll just forego the man-hug as well :-)
