If Republicans do take back the House in 2020 I sure hope they make a better choice of Speaker than they did last time.

I have my doubts they can make a better choice. The same dynamics that crushed both Boehner and Ryan are still active. The Republican majority will depend on a block of Republicans that are some combination of leftists, corruptly beholden to the deep state, and philosophically opposed to whatever particular plank of the party platform that is trying to be advanced that day. Remember that Ryan became speaker because he was one of the few there who was minimally acceptable to both the right and left wings of the Republican delegation in the House.
