Why does everyone keep assuming that the Republicans will pick the next Speaker? All the democrats need is for five uniparty RINO congresscritters to vote with them (or just not show up and vote) and the democrats will get to pick whoever they want as Speaker.
Speaker Pelosi, Part III?
“All the democrats need is for five uniparty RINO congresscritters to vote with them (or just not show up and vote) and the democrats will get to pick whoever they want as Speaker.”
No, all the Democrats need to do is work with a half dozen moderate Republicans and elect the most liberal Republican in the House as Speaker.
And then what do you do?
You would have a coalition of Democrats and a few RINOs running the House.
If THIS truly happens, January 6th. should end up looking like a church social... :(
