What majority of House GOP says is disqualifying for speaker is a prerequisite for Democrats
...Tom Emmer couldn't get a majority of republicans to vote for him because they believe he's not extreme enough in voting to certify the votes in the presidential election; one of only two who voted to certify even in the running, so far.
Election denial, however, is a non-starter for Democrats. I'd guess that's not the only non-starter for most of the party, as well, so there won't be any big move to have a handful of our party vote 'present' in support of any of an increasingly, decidedly rabid republican field of prospective nominees.
MAGA extremist politics is as unworkable in the House as it's proven unpopular in the country as a whole. But republicans in Congress have never cared much about what most Americans want out of their elected representatives.
The most glaring obstacle for republicans electing a speaker is their inability to acknowledge or validate anything outside of their own party politics prevents them from making the most sensible move forward.
They refuse to reach out to Democrats in any way, except to rebuff them. It's their party...
