I would say every Republican ran on turning back the Democratic agenda, then they went and voted for a Democrat to be speaker, the only framing at that is they lied to their constituents.
Think about, if you voted for someone who won as your Representative, and they voted for a Democrat to be Speaker, regardless of the framing, how would you feel.
IMO, enough people would be pissed off to cause the person to lose their next election.
“every Republican ran on turning back the Democratic agenda”
All they have to do is frame it (however wrongheaded it may be) as “wanting to get past this mess start with doing the work you sent me to do,” and depending on the constituency that elects them, that desire to turn back the dems’ agenda may vary in intensity.
And who’s to say there aren’t a few Congresscritters out there with an intention to wrap it up in 2024 and want to go out with a nice committee assignment?
The frustration with this logjam is going to only grow, and remember… only six malleable RINOs are needed.
