Would it be crazy to have the Democrats put their support behind a non-crazy R candidate? I think some Dems might throw their support behind a moderate R who is known for bipartisanship like Brian Fitzpatrick but many of those Rs have no interest in leadership. I do not see the Dems supporting any of the people that are being nominated. Any Republican who ascended to the Speakership with Democratic votes would, IMO, get primaried

Anyone know what all the clapping was for in the middle of the P's? The CSPAN feed glitched and then they all stood and randomly clapped. I'm so confused. Was it when Pelosi voted? I didn't hear her name called, so I'm assuming that was during the glitch.

I don't have any hope for a bipartisan speaker, alas.

I kept rewinding to try to figure it out and all I could gather was that Pelosi's name was missing and must have been read during the glitch. Thank you for confirming!

I was surprised that some Rs even clapped for her

I'm surprised they pushed for a floor vote today knowing the votes weren't there.

Maybe it was to put those 20 on blast to get their phones ringing with the extremists in their districts.

They aren’t even going to try to whip votes and vote again? Just continuing to do nothing for another day. The house is such a joke!

Dems are not the problem here. Why the hell should the Democrats help them out of the mess they made? You know if it was the other way around they wouldn't help. They would be too busy making fundraising ads blasting the Democrats for being the problem.
