Oh we know it wasn't worth it for the nation world. But the democrats could have let McCarthy win before he made all the promises to the freedom fuck'em caucus.
Interesting idea: instead of being beholden to the crazies he could've been beholden to the communists. That would've made the crazies....crazy.

I honestly don't know what the better course of action would have been. But I don't think the democrats doing anything to help would have been acknowledged/appreciated/remembered by the republicans. Why bother isn't a great strategy, but if it's not going to do anything... then why bother?
Now the question will be does Special K, honor any of the promises he made (a couple of which I actually think might be beneficial)?

Maybe he should take back all of the concessions he made to the cabal and try making some to the center Dems. Or Jeffries should make some concessions to the most "RINO" of the GOP.
Finding a Republican speaker from the middle of the road and pushing him or her into place by grabbing 5 or 6 Republicans and all of the Democrats would be an amazing move. I think you get one chance at it, and the orchestration is massive. People are starting to leave for good reason... the birth of a child, a funeral or two... if it gets to the weekend unsettled, there could be an ambush (in either direction) if everyone isn't on their toes.
I never realized how "small-government" could quickly be no government.

Again, this is someone that the GOP leadership is refusing to repudiate - simply because their tenuous hold on the House is due to him flipping a Democratic seat, and heâs said heâd vote for McCarthy. Of course can you trust this sort of man?
FTA:
After obtaining a high school equivalency diploma, Santos apparently spent time in Brazil. In 2008, Santos (then 19) stole a checkbook from a man in Brazil who was being cared for by Santos's mother, and wrote fraudulent checks. He confessed and was charged with check fraud, but did not respond to a court summons; Brazilian authorities told The New York Times that the case remains unresolved.<10> In his Post interview a week after the Times reported this, Santos denied it. "I am not a criminal hereânot here or in Brazil or any jurisdiction in the world," he said. "Absolutely not. That didn't happen."<19> The Times noted that it had documentary records of the charges.<3>
