Why do Speakers believe they have to oppose the majority of their own party?
If a bill, ANY bill, passes almost 3-1, doesn’t that indicate there is reason to bring it to the floor?

No, not at all. Support from the opposition is irrelevant.

Why filibuster a bill in the Senate if it could easily pass?
Why allow a vote on a popular bill if you have the leverage to get concessions on something else (like the border)?
