If the Republicans split the vote for Speaker, can the Dems vote, en masse, for Pelosi and then she can win the Speakershiip??

Yes, the voting for Speaker of the House is simple majority voting of all members with no regard to party unlike the Senate where only the majority party elects the leader. This is how Boner and other RINOs have stayed in power because they have enough Republicans on their side to prevent challengers from not just beating them, but also outvoting the RATS meaning that voting against them puts the RATS in charge.

It's pretty sickening to know that there are that many Republicans who would rather see Pelosi as Speaker again rather than vote against Boner. Bear in mind that many of them are the same ones who whine about Cruz and Lee putting principles over politics. Fake phony frauds they are.

Please re-read that sentence and tell me if that is what you meant to say. It doesn’t make sense. Did you mean to say: “...rather than vote FOR Boner”?
