Republicans won't go for it. But let's say they did. Gaetz or someone else would immediately call for a new speaker with that law they passed and start the whole process over again.
That's not the point, in the same manner that them getting a speaker elected isn't the point.
Whoever controls the conversation is winning is the point. There is an open opportunity to hikack the narrative by Democrats. Simple "move beyond" the Republicans in a serious and straight laced manner. Just upgrade the conversation into a serious conversation about the merits of several potential democratic candidates. What it does is highlight the disingenuousness of the Republicans, while showing off the seriousness of the Democrats.
Effective politicians do this all the time (See Obama, See Trump for examples) when they answer the questions they would prefer to be answered as opposed to the question they were asked. It's politics 101.
