Of the 435 seats in the House of Representatives, 54%, or 235, are now filled by Democrats. Only 200, or 46%, are held by Republicans. Which makes it clear that the latter missed an opportunity to demonstrate bi-partisanship today.
Among 200 Republicans, none voted for Nancy Pelosi for Speaker. 192 chose Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R - CA, 23rd District), an original even among those who habitually bash Democrats, and eight picked Rep. Jim Jordan (R - Ohio, 4th District), he of the effort to impeach Rod Rosenstein.. Can you say monolithic, boys and girls?
