The House rules would have to be changed, since as they read now, the speaker cannot serve if he/she has been indicted for a felony.
—> Trump would need 218 votes and there are a lot of Never Trumpers out there
They all trade their votes for something they want.
In other words, they make a deal.
The most likely outcome is that five uniparty RINOs will vote with the democrats (or just not show up to vote) allowing the democrats to elect whoever they want as the next Speaker.
I don’t think they will go so far as to re-elect Pelosi, though they certainly could. More likely they will elect a “moderate” democrat to give the five uniparty RINOs some cover.
Epitome of a narcissist. He’s not even qualified per the rules of the House who forbid those under federal indictment from being Speaker. Nor does he have any chance of winning the vote, which would be an embarrassing loss. He’s just mouthing off, as usual.
Trump could be both POTUS AND Speaker.
Wouldn’t THAT be fun?
If I said “Linux”, would that trigger you?
So if a handful hold out against Jordan, Trump is Speaker.
Complete fantasy. Like everything else about Trump. Much more likely to end up in jail, unfortunately, for us all.
That is all you ever do is mouth off.. does that make you the resident narcissist?
Some reason you think bashing all things President Trump makes you holy..
Yep. Say no more.
Like I said, you have TDS
“Trump could never get the votes.”
Maybe. But how many of the GOP are there because Trump endorsed them? How many will be begging for his endorsement in upcoming elections?
Of course, the RATs won’t cross over.
It would be great political theater. With the distinct possibility of it happening. Would be trolling never Trumpers and making news people “saying his name” so much, he would take out the oxygen outta’ the whole news cycle. If he takes job...lots of fun. If he does a great job...exposing and smashing Democrats...would be very fun election.
Could you imagine him sponsoring laws to remove corrupt judges?....and corrupt congressmen....and corrupt administration members.
“My very good friend gets all her news on MSNBC.”
I have a good friend who gets her news from CNN.
She’s conservative in her personal life but when it comes to politics, forget it.
Propaganda works. (with some.)
I criticized Trump, not you. Quit shooting the messenger. Defend Trump or not. But you can’t, is the problem.
Nih.
It would be a sight to experience
Like, none. He's been the kiss of death, lately. Ask Kari Lake, Hershel Walker, and Doctor Oz, his prime candidates.
McCarthy won with 216 votes.
