Jim Jordan not only lost again on the second House speaker ballot, but did worse than before.

Of the plausible House speaker candidates to this point, he's the worst, because by far the most MAGA/Trumpist.

Perhaps it's time for a help-wanted ad:

Apply to become Speaker of the House!
Excellent pay and benefits. Great power and prestige.
No experience required!

But also:
Zero job security.
Treacherous, backstabbing colleagues.
Bootlicking skills a plus (may be needed for occasional business trips to Mar a Lago).

On a slightly more serious note, if this circus would actually lead to lower spending and/or other improvements in policy, I would be all for it! But it almost certainly won't. We'll be lucky if it doesn't make things even worse.
