Only problem is Cruz is in the Senate and not the House, don’t think he would want to switch. LOL
“Only problem is Cruz is in the Senate and not the House, don’t think he would want to switch.”
Yeah, I had not thought about that and had to look up why his name was mentioned when Boehner retired.
What I forgot was that being a Congressman is not a requirement to be Speaker.
And I would not be surprised if Cruz would take the job. But I doubt he could be Speaker AND a senator. So, if this shortened his political career, he might not want to take it even if it was offered. You may be right.
I wonder if, in the current political climate, we could get a decent replacement for Ryan. I think Ryan is doing better than Boehner, but not as good of a job as we need.
