The chamber has been without a leader for weeks because of GOP infighting.

    The rule should be if they don’t get a person voted in then the democrats get to pick a republican to serve. The person chosen must serve.

          This is the exact way Trump won the 2016 primary.

          Stuff the choices out so much that there’s 7 shit candidates and 2 almost-passable candidates. Then hope one of your 7 can outlast both of the other 2.

        This could be better than the current situation but I could imagine a lot of side effects to that system. Maybe if there was a lower threshold that had to be met so we couldn’t have situations where someone with 20 votes wins.

      I can get behind this. A lot of effort invested into tweaking the rules of sortsball lately to keep things fresh when these are the changes we need.
