Rep. Matt Gaetz: "Speaker Trump’s Got a Pretty Good Ring To It"
TGP ^ | Dec 22 | By Jordan Conradson

Posted on 12/22/2021 6:46:38 AM PST by RandFan

Gaetz: I was the first member of Congress to pledge that I will nominate Donald J Trump for Speaker of the House and people like to laugh but you know what? They laughed at the idea of him becoming president too. And that happened. So speaker Trump’s got a pretty good ring to it to me.

Conradson: So have you spoken to President Trump, possibly Speaker Trump about his plans for 2022?

Gaetz: I have. What I can tell you is that President Trump is dialed into races at a granular level. He’s following the fundraising, the polling and the messaging. He is as tuned in as I’ve ever seen him and I think that’s a good thing for the politics of the right that’s right.

“Trump as Speaker of the House. I don’t see a downside to this.”

I picture a Speaker of the House doing a lot of inside-politics things, twisting arms, making sausage.

Is that what makes Trump tick?

Gaetz isn’t serious about most of what he proposes.

More than a million I hope.

The riot they would initiate at the Capitol would make January 6th look like a Girl Scout campfire. And it would be awesome.

Imagine the fun impeaching Biden would be.

To have it go nowhere in the Senate?

Most likely, but two years of dirt on Biden and Hunter and the rest would set the stage for a nice 2024.

1. Win back House and Senate for republicans

2. Appoint Trump House Speaker

3. Impeach and remove Biden and Harris

4. Trump becomes President thru succession.

5. A million lib heads explode

Your plan dies at step 3 since you need 67 Senators to vote to convict.

Like it did on Trump for 2020?

Yes, the impeachment muddied up Trump among the suburb class and it was enough to allow cheating in 5 cities to secure the win for Biden, so yes.

His strength is as an executive, not a legislator. It would be a terrible move. He has enough excess baggage as it is. In any event, he may milk this idea but ultimately will pass on it, imho.

We would need to elect a whole new Republican contingent to Congress.

145 of the current ones voted for Liz Cheney to lead them away from MAGA in Feb.

Trump as Speaker of the House. I don’t see a downside to this.

And CSPAN is obliged to broadcast and archive House proceedings

“Gameplan

1. Win back House and Senate for republicans

2. Appoint Trump House Speaker

3. Impeach and remove Biden and Harris

4. Trump becomes President thru succession.

5. A million lib heads explode”

That’s what I thought the rats were going to do with Hillary.

It fails at point two as well, since representatives aren’t likely to elect an outsider Speaker any more than the Democrats want the riots they encourage coming to their own neighborhoods. However much people want to be “Disruptors” these days, they don’t want their own routine to be disrupted and they don’t want to be upstaged in their own House.

If people would actually think, instead of emotions, that would be the best of all. I would love to watch what the hell the nazicRATS would do if Trump became speaker and DeSantis became POTUS.

All those investigative committees into the nazicRATS racketeering within the Nor Loch.

It fails on just about all of them.

You laid out the scenario perfectly!!

A real GAMECHANGER indeed!!

Plus, I personally cannot wait through another three brutal years of Xiden to have our REAL POTUS regain some actual power!!!

And in regards to Donald Trump, how is that different now? All the Democrats hate him and so do the RINOs.
