Why don’t House Republicans want a elect a speaker of the house?

Would they rather show their inability to organize and elect than show any sign of competency?

avoids taking unpopular votes on issues, but still blocks the things they want to block, so ... trying to avoid electoral responsibility for their policy choices .e.g government shutdown.

TBH the Media are so stupid, they may well make that work

@firefall Not sure how Republicans not voting on a speaker of the house behind closed doors is the medias fault.

@justanothername the way the resulting chaos gets reported as 'Democrats dont support a Republican speaker'

@firefall Either way it sounds like no one is supporting him.
