Come on. One more and I get to see a hung Speaker contest.
I did not mean to phrase it that way but I’m laughing now. But in all honesty, a hung election for speaker only happened during the collapse of the 2nd party system.
When was that?
There was one occasion in 1849, when a month passed along with 59 failed votes because the Democrats with their narrow majority were divided over slavery. The House voted a speaker based on a plurality vote.
My favorite example was in 1855, where the Second Party System completely collapsed and both parties divided over slavery, you had a situation where multiple parties were elected to the 34th Congress so that no one party had a majority. After 133 rounds of voting over two months, a coalition of antislavery and nativist parties managed to elect a new speaker by a plurality vote.
Nobody wants to work anymore
Democrats gaining a trifecta while actively trying to lose would be a super funny outcome
Oh noes. Which democrat will selflessly step in to fill the gap!? Find out soon!
I believe these republicans are dropping out to save America.

The myth of the honorable republican will never die.

Love too save America by instantly getting a no-show job on the board of some defense contractors or some shit.
This is self-harm
