Time for a few members who believe in the “Rule of Law” to walk across the aisle and caucus with Democrats

The Constitution makes no mention of political parties so it is apparent that the Speaker of The House is elected by a majority of individuals, regardless of party affiliation. After the chaos of party politics at the cusp of the Civil War, Democrats and Republicans consolidated with strict party rules to vote solely for their own members. But Republicans in the House are so fractured that it is time for a few members who believe in the “Rule of Law” to walk across the aisle and caucus with Democrats to make Hakeem Jeffries the Speaker of the House.

Consider the political calculus defectors from Steve Bannon’s House of Anarchy make. Either stay with chaos and their Congressional seat in a contested district or walk and possibly get primaried or not or survive given the depths the anarchists reach against their own. If nominated a “Rule of Law” Republican then can campaign as capable of working with Conservative Democrats. It’s not a tough choice but requires a spine.

November 9th  update

Mike Johnson was elected unanimously by Republicans to be Speaker of The House and showed no G.O.P. Congressman made the smart political calculation of walking across the aisle and caucusing with Democrats to save themselves for the possibility to get re-elected next November with the aid of Conservative Democrats. No, they stayed with the Clown Show and last Tuesday’s election gave some indications that it was a bad bet. 

Mike Johnson, who reminds one of naive Dave the Kevin Klein impersonator of the President, is incapable of averting a government shutdown and putting the Steve Bannon anarchist to wreck solutions and so that it may be a protracted one.
