Get an agreement ahead of time.
After the first vote. Eliminate the bottom three vote getters.
After the second vote. Do it again.
After the third vote. Agree to vote for the top vote getter.
That way everyone gets a chance to vote for who they want.
Easy peasy.
Democrats won’t vote for any candidate unless they have a backroom deal with them to ease off on the inquiries and impeachments and to get back to pleasing big donors where the swamp makes their biggest personal financial gains. The swamp’s second best option is to keep the speakership chair vacant and slow down the inquiries as long as possible. The only viable option for the Republican patriots is to keep putting up populist policy Speaker candidates who will push for for those priorities as Speaker and to have the RINOs expose their own duplicity in their voting records that show they want to appease Democrats and donors more than serve the intetests of the citizens, and then have them primaried out of the House.
The party is very strong nationally. Great enthusiasm and support for the MAGA agenda. The party’s effectiveness in delivering that popular agenda is hobbled by white ant political elitists serving their own interests.
Theose elitists are being exposed and, their dumping will produce a unified stronger coherent citizen-serving party. If the vision tarry, wait for it.
The Dems should simply talk to Republicans who won in Biden districts and get together, elect Cheney to SOTH and be done with it.
Easy Peasy. If they are threatened with being primaried, the Dems can just invite them to switch parties and the GOP loses the House Majority.
And to be honest, the GOP doesn’t really want the House majority anyways, they are much happier in the minority where they don’t have to do real work and can then spend their days whinging to Right Wing media about the deep state. They’re not responsible people anymore, they are walking soundbites.
