Democrats should get consideration commensurate with the votes that they provide. But in the negotiation for any deal that is struck, Democrats should demand as absolute prerequisites to any deal:

1) A speaker who is not an insurrectionist
2) Holding to the deal already worked out on the debt ceiling
3) A binding agreement that will forestall any government shutdown over budget wrangling.

These are not "gets" for the Democrats, these are the minimum requirements to end up with a functioning government.
