Share your thoughts on who would be the best choice for Speaker of the House, if Trump wins in November and the Republicans maintain a House majority.

Gaetz makes my top 5 list.

“Who will be the next Republican Speaker of the House?”

No one. The GOP will not exist as a national party after this year, and there will never be another Republican majority.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

MTG

[Eli Kopter]

Like that.

Agreed. We need a Speaker who is a MAGA-loyal disruptor. Business as usual won’t cut it. Enough trimming around the edges, or nudging the needle a degree or two. We need someone willing to wield a chainsaw, and do so with pride and gusto.

I vote for Matt Gaetz.

““We’ll remember you said that.”

Go ahead.

This year D+35 to D+50. If Trump wins, the party will split as leadership is either weakly behind him or openly opposed. If Trump loses, the party will disintegrate.

The same thing that happened to the Progressive Conservative Party in Canada in 1993 and to the UK Conservative Party this year is about to happen to the GOP, and for the same reasons.

Good riddance.

It is easier to say who shouldn’t be. Gaetz tops that list. Not to worry, there is no way he could get the votes.

Why the depressive view?

The GOP will not exist as a national party after this year, and there will never be another Republican majority.

If it goes as bad as you think, the Republicans will get in again, once properly neutered, like the Progressive. onservatives in Canada.

Jim Jordan, absolutely!!!!!

[Jim Noble]

People want and need a government.

The clown show that the House GOP has put on for the last two years has been catastrophic for their image, already damaged by constrant betrayal of their voters since 1994 and especially since their betrayal of their own President.

You can’t beat something with nothing.

I think Gaetz has a good grasp of the behind the scenes cliques within the Republican Party, and judging by McCarthy’s ouster, seems to have a good strategic sense. It seems pretty clear that he played a central role in getting rid of McCarthy. That alone counts highly in his favor.

[No name given]

I agree.
