If it took me 15 attempts to get a job, I wouldn’t feel as if I had any sort of mandate. I’d be embarrassed the next day and start questioning my life priorities. #uspolitics

Well the way the House works is kind of backwards from that.
In the procedure for electing a Speaker people don't really attempt to get a job so much as the job hunting committee attempts to find a candidate. There's no job application, there's no signing up for candidacy, there's no standing up and arguing for one's own selection.
So yeah, the House can't get itself in order because we elected a whole bunch of idiots to staff the chamber. But that's what we get because of the way we voted.
@volkris it’s the old saying. We get the government we elect.
