Dems were never going to win that position since Repubs have the majority. That 15x vote signals major disfunction within their party. Good

At one point, Rep. Mike Rogers of Alabama lunged at Gaetz during the House floor negotiations and had to be restrained by Rep. Richard Hudson of North Carolina.

Love to see it
