    To be fair, he seems pretty clear that the he is willing to direct the caucus to vote for an agreed upon republican, rather than seek the speakership himself.

      Right. Republicans would never agree to a Democrat speaker. They would rather watch the country burn down than to do that.

      Now there is an endless list of other things they may need to agree to for Democrats to partner.

        You don’t know that. Their entire house is broken. Dem’s need five. Its 100% on the table.
