Slim coalitions make for difficult leadership positions as Speaker McCarthy is finding out. Well, he already knew this would be the case considering the small majority coalition he leads. The far right factions of his party are hoping for a showdown to try and bring things to a screeching halt to damage his reputation and burnish their own as provocateurs bent on taking down Washington as we know it. There are just a few weeks left to determine who will win, them or McCarthy. Everyone in the nation is watching.
