Republicans voted behind closed doors to nominate Tom Emmer for speaker of the House three weeks after Kevin McCarthy was ousted. Emmer dropped out hours later.
Wow, that is actually disappointing to me. I don’t like Emmer but he seemed like the best we were likely to get out of the current GOP and might have been someone the Democrats could support for the sake of stability and getting a budget.
Even when he’s not president, Trump manages to continue screwing us over.

Democrats aren’t going to support a Speaker candidate unless they get something for it. That is how legislative systems work.
And they won’t get anything because Republicans will go back on the deal the second they can. And Dems know this.
So we’re stuck.
Hell, that’s how people work too.
