re: Is there a single Democrat Rep that would work as Speaker?

The GOP would always be able to remove the Speaker if he went off the reservation too far.

Hakeem Jeffries seems to be the Democrat preference for Speaker. His name and district don't endear him to the rank and file of the GOP, but he at least has some record of bipartisanship.

The most conservative Dem in the House ( by at least one measure) is Jared Golden. He comes from a district in Maine that leans +11 R.

Clearly, Dems won't vote for a Rep, and Reps can't get united behind one name.

I'm not asking if it's what YOU would want. I'm asking if you think it's possible. Again, anybody in the chair could always be removed again, a far easier point of agreement, it seems.

ETA: Downvote away.
