    Even tactically it would be the smart move for the Republicans.

    If nothing gets done, they can blame the Democratic speaker, if things get passed the wingnuts don’t like, they can blame it on the Democratic speaker, meanwhile, the republicans from the slightly more swingy states get creds with more moderate voters, when they vote sensibly.

    But nooo, Republicans can only stand either having it all or blocking it all.

      Good points, but any Republican who votes for a Democrat would see the entirety of the MAGA base vote against them. Hell, McCarthy got ousted for just negotiating with Democrats to avoid a shutdown. None of them are going to vote for Jeffries.
