    The difference is that the CR averted a government shutdown that would have hurt thousands of people (if not more). Working to get that passed was the adult governance thing to do.

    With the Speakership, this is an internal GOP affair. It’s their party in chaos and it’s better for Democrats to stay out of it. Let the Republicans get hurt politically because they can’t even keep their Speaker for 10 months. Perhaps, after a while, the Democrats will step in to help some moderate Republican win the Speakership with major concessions, but for now the Republicans can eat each other alive.
