At the end of the day, the personal ideology of the Speak of the House does matter, but not as much as a lot of people fear. It was always going to be a Republican for at least another year. I hoped it would come down to Democrats supporting a moderate so he wouldn't have to kowtow to the MAGAs, but we got a MAGA and at least now we won't have to worry about the MAGAs taking him down and throwing things into limbo again.
Yes, there'll be some annoying things, but when it comes to vital funding bills and debt ceiling he'll be in the same position as McCarthy. There's only so much brinksmanship you can get away with. We could have a short shutdown, but that almost happened last month and it was just a month and a half stopgap that stopped it. We had a reasonable chance of that with any Republican. And then when it comes to ordinary legislation, there was always going to be a narrow field of stuff that can happen with Congress divided. Little, but some, of that will happen in the next year.
