We used to say Democrats fall in love; Republicans fall in line. Not any more. The scramble for the Speaker seat is riveting.
Democrats *could* take advantage of the situation as Carville says and vote as a block to put a Democrat in the Speaker seat of a majority Republican House. But we've never shown that kind of unity.
I'm really stuck on this idea and it's all @Maude's fault if you get tired of hearing about it. 😆
