Let's pretend the GOP completely implodes and the only speaker choice had to be bipartisan. Someone that can attract votes from both sides. That mean no ultra liberals the will never get any GOP support. Not Nancy pelosi she has to much history. Chances are it has to be either a conservative dem or a non crazy GOP ( if there are any)

...then promptly realize I'll have to run against someone and abdicate the throne.
