House GOP prepares to pick a new boss after midterm reality check

Original version ·

It turns out losing is a great motivator for a corporate rebrand.

After taking a serious beating in the midterms, the House GOP has decided that a fresh face is the best way to pretend the last few months never happened. Mike Johnson Johnson is packing his bags, leaving the caucus to scramble for someone who can actually hold the reins.

Replacing the top leader is the political equivalent of shuffling deck chairs on a sinking ship, but they are clearly hoping a new nameplate on the door will distract everyone from the scoreboard. It is time to see who is ambitious enough to volunteer for this particular headache.

Watching people fight for a crown that seems to be made of thorns never gets old.
