Don't mistake the infighting over something that actually matters, for an inability to bully each other into being an obstruction to anything the Democrats want. Not electing a speaker is just as effective obstruction as well. As long as they don't actually want to pass anything on their side, it's arguably even more effective. And that's their purpose. The current Republican platform is to be the exact opposite of the Dems, and whatever blurts out of Trump's mouth at the moment.
They don't like each other, but they stand together being a wall for anything the Dems want to pass, regardless of what it is. At this point they'd probably vote against a nationwide abortion ban at conception with no exceptions if the Dems introduced the bill.
