    Voting for the other Party’s Speaker nomination is just not done. Like, it hasn’t happened for decades.

    Sounds like it’s time for a change, then.

      Totally fair. Republicans can’t complete this simple procedural step so that the House can actually function; they certainly can’t govern!

      So Democrats should go above and beyond and do their job for them with no actual positive results to bring back to the People they represent. They should reach far across the middle, to a Party that once again proved days ago it can’t keep its word on agreements. And if anything doesn’t go perfectly (for Republicans), they’ll falsely blame Democrats and score political points off the circus they created, while the country suffers. Like I said, totally good and fair…

      Republicans have tossed away precedence when it suited them, now’s a good a time as ever to break tradition because as it stands the Republican lunatics are running the asylum.
