For the Good of the Country, Dems Shouldn't Allow Jordan to Become Speaker.

Let the Republicans cause all sort of self-inflicted wounds upon themselves but if the alternative to McCarthy is Jordan, enough of them should vote "present" to allow McCarthy to win.

BONUS: McCarthy will probably deny committee seats to his enemies. Adam Schiff should demand to keep his coommittee assignments as part of the deal. That will infuriate even more GOP members.

But a weak Speaker McCarthy would be better than coup-plotting traitors like Jordan.

Why aren't the Dems strategizing on who they can elect as Speaker that is palatable for both sides.

Why do you think we are not?
@beckyromero The Dems always come off so weak. Why aren't they publicizing that they are trying to put reasonable names out. Put some names out.
@Pitchblue It was on TV news reports...

The second after a Democrat names a potential compromise candidate s/he will be attacked by Trump and the "Taliban 20."

It's the Republicans who are going to have to come up with a compromise candidate.
@beckyromero Trump wants Kevin as speaker. BoBo just came out against Trump phoning them to change their vote. The 20 are sticking their heads into the gullotine just to see what's on the other side.

@Pitchblue tRump whoever he can control! The next 2 years are going to be traumatic! The Republican party has allowed the inmates run the assylum.
@samueltyler2 And they are doing so with eyes wide open.
