@Prof_BearB Even if they were perfectly unitied (hah!) who would they negotiate with? I can’t imagine a deal like what just happened in the OH leg. There’s no one on the House GOP caucus who could live up to their end of the deal.

@nswigger @Prof_BearB

They would find plenty to take them as an alternative to the hardliners currently mucking up their plans.

Their end of the deal would be specified in the Rules of the House, and given what we see here, they wouldn't be able to further alter the rules even if they wanted to get out of it.
