    Now the house will be motionless other than maybe subcommittee meetings and such. Until the GOP nominates a new speaker. It only took 15 attempts last time…

      The mostly likely replacement at this point is probably the Democrat Jeffries, assuming the dems are still united on that front. I don’t know who of the gop would be able to swing the whole party at this point.

        Highly unlikely.

        Anyone with an R next to their name would be commiting political suicide to cross the isle like that.

        We might see one of the more centrist Rs try to broker a power sharing deal if things get too bleak though since it’s apparent the freedom caucus does not know what compromise or negotiation means.
