But it’s also kind of dumb. They should just vote on a person and the one with the most votes becomes speaker. The far right has everything to gain here. They either get someone favorable to them, the House passes no bills thus no funding and the government shuts down, or the rest of the GOP works witj the Democrats and angers the base more whuch leads them to elect more far right peoople. No kidding. This seems like it makes the most sense. 1 Link to comment
