With all the troubles of the GOP I think that we have to entertain the idea we could possibly see a Speaker Pelosi earlier than anticipated. Follow below
This was part of a comment I made but thought it was worth a diary to itself. If 30 sane members of the GOP were to grow a spine and say F you to the crazy caucus and were willing to form a coalition with the Democrats to run the house till the 2016 elections what should be the conditions of such an agreement? Here are some of my ideas:
1. Create a system so you have no debt ceiling fights until the next Congress
2. Pass a budget or a CR that funds the government till the next election
3. Pass a highway bill that funds everything till next election
4. End the Planned Parenthood committee
5. End the Benghazi committee
1 through 3 are a must so we can take the hostage taking out of this, run the government without the threats of shutdown or economic collapse in regards to the debt ceiling, and I think even McConnell would go a long with it so he can get his crazies to shut up.
4 and 5 might be problematic for the GOP to go with and maybe you compromise with creating the committee but with even membership, staffing, and subpoena power for both sides.
I am sure I could come up with more but I think in this case we just need to get to the elections and hope nothing else gets broken. DO NO HARM!
