I mean, in the interest of being technically correct every democrat did vote against him. Why would they vote for a republican? That makes no sense.

Did the first 15 votes against him give the GOP any sense that the Dems would turn around and vote for him on vote #16? Apparently, the GOP can't do pattern recognition.

They extrapolate like ChatGPT v1 on a computer with a broken CPU and bad RAM

Well in theory an opposition party that didn't agree with everything the GoP does to begin with would offer up a compromise candidate with concessions to their parties legislative priorities even if they were a "republican". But since Dems exist to provide cover for the same lobbyists that fund the GoP and ensure that a leftist party can never get elected in a first past the post system, they don't actually care one way or another.
