@RunRichRun so many people don't understand that the Speaker of the House is restrained by what all of the members of the House want to do.
He is servant to them. And unfortunately, we elected a bunch of morons who weren't that interested in actually finding consensus. So the Speaker can't really be expected find consensus among people who don't want to find consensus.
We need to stop electing and reelecting these same unserious people if we want serious government. And we need to make sure we firmly blame the people that we elect, and not let them shift flame to the Speaker.
He speaks for the House. We chose to elect a dumb House.
