Jim Jordan’s bid to become Speaker of the House of Representatives has been illuminating. It shows that the Democrats have a working majority in the House … which explains why NOTHING has really changed since the Republicans supposedly took “control” of the House.

Right now there are two paths forward for the GOP in the Speaker battle:
