"Moderate Republican" is a lie. They would rather deal with the farthest of the far-right than with the most moderate Democrat.

The ongoing chaos in the House Speaker election isn't making so-called "moderate Republicans" look better. Rather, the very fact these so-called "moderate Republicans" are continuing to try to deal with 20 hard-right MAGA rebels, when all it would take is 5 moderate Republicans to support Hakeem Jeffries for House Speaker, tells you all you need to know.
