I would be nominated for speaker before a Republican votes for any Democrat speaker. Never mind the almost guaranteed threats of violence you mentioned, doing so would have been political suicide even in saner times. No congressman from that side who wants to remain in Congress and continue breathing is ever going to do that in today’s political environment.
I’d love to see it, but it’s never, ever, ever going to happen.

That’s been said about a lot of things that have happened in the last 7 years.
Valid point.
