@jeffjarvis I guess I’d disagree. He could have shut the whole thing down like predecessors; could have engaged in pointless efforts in the past. Instead, he worked to largely pass bills that had already achieved bipartisan Senate support. I'm not giving him credit for doing his job, but for rather rising the occasion the nation needed of him not being an obstructionist—a bar for previous Speakers. He has no good ideas of his own, and if he had a true majority, he'd be passing terrible stuff.
