    But part of the Freedom Caucus agenda is to gum up the works. They’re not interested in having government function at all. So it’s possible that they will never, ever come to an agreement. Should the Democrats throw up 212 for Jeffries indefinitely? Or should they use what power they have to steer the Republicans to some sort of conclusion?

      The moment you thought you steered the Republicans will be the last moment before they happily stick a bunch of knives in your back. That is not prejudice, that is experience.

      It’s folly to think that a democrat reaching across the aisle won’t draw back a bloody stump for the effort. A better solution would be five or six republicans in purple districts to negotiate a compromise and vote for Jeffries. The democrats came to govern; It’s not their job to save the GOP from the GOP.
