Dear Washington Post. Thank you for your rhetorical question on the dysfunction that is the Republican-led U.S. House of Representatives

Washington Post, 9/25/2015

Just in case you really need an answer

And Boehner's departure amounts to a win for the far-right wing of the Republican party*, likely to be emboldened by his departure. That ultimately could lead to fewer compromises, more gridlock and even greater polarization between the two sides.

In a word, 'no'!

(*Or, 'the crazies', as New York Republican Rep. Peter King dubs them.)
