How astoundingly inept are these House Republicans? They’ve allowed House Democrat Hakeem Jeffries to finish in first place in the Speaker of the House vote sixteen different times so far this year. One such embarrassing incident could be a fluke. Twice would be bad management. Sixteen times and a clown car would label you disorganized.

Here’s another angle just how embarrassing this is for House Republicans:

That’s right, historical ineptitude. And so much for the idea that Donald Trump has any real influence over this Republican House. These people are such confused idiots, they can’t even follow the wishes of the guy they think they’re supposed to be listening to. Then again, Trump has always had zero leadership abilities, so it’s no surprise that he can’t get his way.

Sure, it’s a small House majority. But can you imagine Nancy Pelosi having ever taken anything to the floor without first ensuring she had the votes? Can you imagine Hakeem Jeffries ever letting that happen once he’s eventually Speaker? What we’re seeing from House Republicans is a uniquely, and almost impossibly, historical level of incompetence. And yet they’re managing to make history. Just not the kind that anyone would ever want to make.
