    Good. Let them keep pushing and pushing. At this point, the only thing that will save this country is Trump et al managing to destroy themselves. We only got Obama because Bush let Wall Street run amok.

        People have been talking about Trump running for Speaker since 2020. Technically, the Constitution doesn’t require the Speaker to be an actual member of Congress. Realistically, I think Johnson will stay because I don’t think the 95 hold outs will have enough votes to force another election.

          trump is likely ineligible for that role. You know. Oath of Office… Insurrection. 14th amendment. There no way they’ll get 2/3’s the votes of both the house and the senate to overturn that.

            He wouldn’t want the job. As President he could isolate, as Speaker he’d have to get off his rear and do stuff. Also, he wouldn’t be the Main Man, El Numero Uno, etc etc
