[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was reading about the 1855 stalemate.  They eventually resolved that by voting to change the rules to make it a plurality instead of a majority. I could see that being a path here if they can get Democratic buy-in by giving Jeffries concessions.[/quote]
They'd only do this if McCarthy had more votes than Jeffries, but not enough to reach 218.[/quote]

The need enough votes to make the change. The people willing to continue voting against McCarthy aren't going to vote for a rules change that paves the way for him to get elected, [b]and there is no reason for the democrats to give the republicans an easy way out of this.[/b] [/quote]

What if McCarthy promised to pass a clean debt-ceiling increase?[/quote]

Again, this is NOT the Democrats job to fix GOP dysfunction. I get it, Dems always need to be the grownups in the room. But as a parent, you need to let your kids be on their own path, even if it means failing. So please STOP with the "Dems should do this..." nonsense. The GOP is the majority, they need to get their act together or step aside and let the grownups be in charge.[/quote]

+1. And while I get that this hasn't happened in 100 years and the House can't function without a speaker, it's been ONE DAY. When it's been a week, maybe the Dems can talk. But I will be sort of furious if Dems come to the table anytime soon. [/quote]
