i think the dems should start voting for fred upton. get a republican who voted to impeach trump, have him serve as speaker for the 24 election. easily the best thing for the country.
jeffries isnt actually gonna be speaker under any circumstance, so its about getting the best republican. all 212 of them should start voting for upton and let 6 moderates cross over
this wouldnt be bailing republicans out, it would be a win
I still think it's too much of a win for this to happen. Every GOP House member knows that they'd get carved up in a primary, where some lunatic would just run to their right and make a bunch of campaign commercials about working with/capitulating to Dems to choose a speaker.
But that would be a massive win.
I would guess what'll happen is they'll eventually peel off one of the five who currently refuse to move, maybe put pressure on them in some way that will register, but this five-percent chance that what Bacon says will happen is worth hoping for.
