Why not?

For instance, there are enough votes for a discharge petition on the aid bills if Jeffries, et al want to press the issue. That would be even worse for Johnson and House Republicans.

And at some point (and no, I am not talking about R+40 districts in Alabama, Arkansas, etc.), people in the swing and suburban districts want the House to be functional and to govern. Compromise is not a bad word in those places---the same places Republicans need to win if they want to retain majorities, and the same places that Trump will need to win or do very well in to be elected a second time.

The GOP cannot always be the party of drama and obstinance.

Not defending Johnson per se, but I think too many people here think all of the GOP districts are like this.
