Today’s Democrats and Republicans are separated emotionally and ideologically, which makes leadership even harder.
Kevin McCarthy’s fall as speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives has been especially sudden and dramatic, but is only the latest example of intense, internal Republican Party warfare. McCarthy, R-Calif., himself opened the door to ouster when he agreed in the long, grueling battle for the speakership in January to allow a rule change whereby only one member of his party could call a vote for his removal. Right-wing attention-seeker Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., did just that on Oct.
The practice of holding the federal budget hostage to controversial partisan party maneuvers has now gone on for many years. In 1994, Republicans took control of the House after 40 years in minority status. Their majority was led by new speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., who dramatically accelerated the trend of shifting that office from a relatively nonpartisan to highly partisan pulpit.
