It would give me great joy and some amount of comfort to see Kevin McCarthy turned out by the House and one of the 4 Republicans you discussed in your article voted in to the Speaker's Chair. McCarthy has for far too long exhibited a a callous ambition so naked it reminds me of.....Trump.

There is a difference though, between McCarthy and Trump regarding naked and callous ambition.
Kevin McCarthy is a calculating politician who routinely trades away his political capital in exchange for votes. In the end that leaves him powerless, indebted to those who have supported him.
Trump, on the other hand, never concedes power to anyone. Rather than solicit support from others, he uses his power to threaten and punish those who don't support him. In the end that leaves him still powerful, despite being indicted for criminal behavior.
