It’s a stunt, of course.
The 20 or so Republicans who have opposed Kevin McCarthy’s bid for the speakership — and thus prevented the House of Representatives from swearing in its members and beginning its business — have claimed they’re doing so in the name of draining the swamp. They’ve put forth no viable alternative, nor have they been swayed by any of the concessions McCarthy had made in an effort to woo them. They have, however, received plenty of press for their efforts.

Michelle Wolf’s performance at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner was total victory for President Donald Trump, MSNBC’s Morning Joe declared.
‘This was a win for Trump,” Mika Brzezinski insisted today on the MSNBC morning show.
“If you didn’t want this to be a win for Trump, you gave him one in a big way,” Brzezinski added, continuing criticism she began Saturday night, shortly after Wolf’s routine began to blow up Twitter.
Co-host Joe Scarborough, meanwhile, called for killing the comedian participation segment of the dinner. “Let the great comedians perform on Netflix, where we watch Dave Chappelle,” he suggested.
“If you invite a comedian to it you are putting the entire press corps on the hook for whatever that comedian says,” added Morning Joe panelists/New York Times political writer Nicholas Confessore, putting him in Scarborough’s camp.

MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” ripped President Trump for pardoning former Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio, who guest Mike Barnicle said was “running a concentration camp.” Arpaio had been convicted of criminal contempt of court in a racial profiling case but was given a presidential pardon by Trump on Friday. Co-host Joe Scarborough doesn’t approve and said, “The list of horrors this guy has implemented is staggering.” Barnicle and New York Times reporter Nick Confessore were on hand to chime in, noting that the investigation started while George W. Bush was president and that child abuse cases went dark under Arpaio if the kids.

While the candidates were talking about Syria, the Supreme Court and the economy, Americans at home were hoping (one of) the candidates would answer an even more pressing question.
When Donald Trump says that word (you know the one), is he saying “bigly?” Or is he saying “big league?”
By the middle of the debate, the word “bigly” had shot to the top of Google’s trending terms list. And there was plenty of talk about the pronunciation on Twitter.
Is "bigly" a word? No, its not. That should be disqualifying itself!
