Some Dems are saying sane, centrist Repubs in the House should team up with Dems to elect #HakeemJeffries #speaker . I think that’s a horrible idea. Why would he want to be a speaker when there’s a Repub majority? He can’t count on ANY Repubs to help Dems pass legislation, so what’s the point?

The House would be in the same situation, only now the GQP would blame Hakeem Jeffries for all of their failures. And Speaker Jeffries’ law passing record would start off in the tank. Seems like he would be setting himself up for failure if he took the role.

Am I missing something?

Then there is the problem of finding “sane, centrist Republicans”.

HAH! 😂 Exactly! I wanted to put “sane and centrist” in quotes, but character limits. 😂

I don’t think it would ever happen, but I’m wondering why Dems are even saying this. Don’t give the GQP ideas for how to set Dems up to be the fall guy.
