Less than three months into Mike Johnson’s tenure as speaker of the House, some House Republicans are already experiencing buyer’s remorse.

But we the public may pay the price. A prolonged government shutdown won’t resolve itself positively. Having an angry, unreasonable Rep in charge could be a disaster for the country, and there’s no telling who’ll cave in first in such a horrible game of chicken. I’d bet the Dems and if so, it won’t be good for the country.
