Kevin McCarthy, the man who desperately wants to be Speaker of the US House, has achieved one thing. Insanity.

Widely attributed to Albert Einstein (but possibly not said by him), the main quote is "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results."


Kevin McCarthy has crossed that threshold.

McCarthy fails on 11th ballot amid hopes for tentative deal with conservatives

Kevin McCarthy and his conservative opponents have reached a tentative breakthrough after a days-long standoff, giving the California Republican’s speaker bid a needed momentum boost.

Conservatives will get more time to look over the details after Republicans agreed to adjourn the House until noon on Friday. But it’s a sign of life for McCarthy, who has struggled to show public strength after three days of 11 speaker ballots that have seen him fail to flip any of his opponents.

After 11 ballots, it seems to be time for McCarthy to seek professional help.
