In response to "Is there, do we think, a conservative enough Democrat in the House that would be acceptable to a small group of moderate Republicans" by znufrii

It would have to be a moderate Republican.

If it was a moderate Republican or Steve King (as Reagen pointed out), the Dems would side with the moderate Republicans.

Responses:

then the question becomes is there a moderate enough Republican to get the support of most if not all of the Democrats? -- nm - znufrii Oct 16, 08:18 5
- If they are the only one standing between Speaker Gohmert and the country, there better be. -- nm - spamlet Oct 16, 08:20 4
  - and you presume that a hypothetical moderate Republican would vote for Gohmert before any Democrat? -- nm - znufrii Oct 16, 08:26 2
    - Yes. They're in the majority, they get to call the shots. - spamlet Oct 16, 08:28 1
      - I'd think you'd need a pretty explicit power-sharing agreement with Pelosi to get the Dems on board with this plan - znufrii Oct 16, 08:36
  - I like how everyone has a different "oh crap, we're fucked" scenario. -- nm - Reagen Oct 16, 08:23
