[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here, and I haven't been following this that closely (for shame, especially since I'm a fed! lol)

The Washington Post just announced that Rep. Ted Lieu (D) just voted for Hakeen Jeffries for Speaker. Are the Democrats voting? If so, why don't they just all vote for Jeffries for Speaker? They only need to get a few Rs on their side (which, I know, is pretty much an impossibility).[/quote]

In a nutshell, no Democrat will vote for a Republican, and no Republican will vote for a Democrat.[/quote]
No, this is not true. Democrats won't vote for an election saboteur nor someone who will not partner in good faith. If GOP put up one of the handful of non-election deniers a Speaker, Dem would consider it.

Don't try to both sides this. GOP dysfunction and everyone expects the Dems to clean up their sh!t. Just like maintenance had to clean up insurrectionists sh!t.[/quote]

Like who?  I'm struggling to think of any GOP rep who is not somewhere on the spectrum of crazy.  [/quote]

Fred Upton?[/quote]

He's no longer in Congress.  And he's not there because he was run out by the crazies.  Why would we think the crazy people that ran him out would now vote for him?[/quote]

Speaker doesn’t have to be a MoC, which is curious given they are second in the line of succession. [/quote]

Everyone on this chat knows the Speaker doesn’t need to be a MoC. You didn’t need to say that.[/quote]
