In an attempt to rebuild the ruins, the majority of Republicans don't want to see the House torn down from within every time they start to make legislative progress.
The first big challenge is getting the new House rules certified today. When McCarthy caved into the crazy of the craziest, he agreed to add some House rules that don't necessarily coincide with the majority's wishes.
There may be unexpected resistance to some of the more wacko rules proposed. Keep your eyes on the moderate Republicans during the voting process.
I suspect there will also be multi-pushbacks from the crazies' fever dream rules of the road if they hit a roadblock... or two. Or three, and on and on.
Beyond that initial governing challenge, the pathway is perilous with potholes for the next two years. Americans need to buckle up because there's a treacherous highway ahead.
As for rebuilding and rebranding the House, I don't see the next two years of chaos being popular with the majority of Americans when no meaningful legislation gets passed and every day brings a new embarrassment.
Instead, Americans will have a front row seat to a Congressional clown show
until the 2024 elections when they're ran out of the House like arsonists.
As it stands, watching this new era for the House is a lot like watching the inmates take over an asylum.
