[quote=Anonymous]in doing research I can't seem to find examples of the minority side voting for House Speaker. So please stop trying to blame democrats.

Let me ask independents this - why was it ok for McCarthy to not keep his word? He went back on every deal and then tried to blame democrats when he has the majority. Remember, Pelosi had the same slim majority last Congress and was ALWAYS able to get her people in line. and while some of the bills did garner a handful of republican support, that wasn't needed. She could pass the bills with her majority. So you're blaming Democrats for McCarthy's failure to govern. How many times did he say he doesn't want to work with dems and cut deals with them? So it's ok for him to be stubborn and not reach across the aisle?

And it doesn't matter what MAGA speaker they put in that job, they will have to cut some budget deal EVENTUALLY with the dems to not shutdown the government. Sure the house may pass some extreme budget on party lines, but no way will it pass the senate or get signed by the president. So they will have to go back and negotiate something that will pass. The senate is sensible and have a bi-partisian agreement.
