First of all, President Trump is eligible for the speaker’s position per prior publications.

…The speaker of the House has always been a member of the House of Representatives, even though the Constitution does not list House membership as a requirement for the job, simply saying lawmakers “shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers.”
Steve Bannon provided a segment this morning where he suggested that President Trump is clearly the best person for Speaker.
Why is nominates in quotes? Gaetz actually did nominate Trump.
How about Rudy Giuliani? It would be a good gig for him for a couple years. He whipped the Mafia families into shape; he can handle RATs and RINOs.
Neither of Harris’ parents were citizens at the time she was born.
Because you stink like a Demonrat
Only one from Gaetz.
The voting pattern the same after 11 ballots with 20 votes spread out over candidates and one other GOP member voting “Present”.
Still at 201 for McCarthy and 212 for Jeffries.
Matt is acting like a prima Donna.
I know Upton and McCarthy are friends. I don’t know if Democrats would go for Upton rather than McCarthy.
But who knows. It really doesn’t matter that much, McCarthy is essentially a Democrat/RINO and so is Upton and the senate is essentially Democrats/RINOs.
If we don’t get a conservative Speaker, we may as well have Jeffries.
Eleven votes today. I heard Gaetz nominate Trump.
Did anyone vote for Trump?
The only agenda that will pass Congress is the Democrats agenda. Any investigation they try to run will lead to no action whatsoever. Won’t even get media coverage.
Yes, the best outcome is a totally dysfunctional Congress.
What?
Matt Gaetz is a hero, along with the other rebels. It’s about time we had real debate in the House, instead of just agreeing to trillion-dollar pork bills that nobody reads. This is how the House SHOULD work. And....McCarthy is not to be trusted. Total Deep State.
I avoided the shame and never considered myself a Republican.
FAUX is dead to most everyone here. The actual conservatives, at a minimum.
Is that you, Clara?
Yep. Buffoonery. It’s clear now nobody was in charge and game planed this effort before the voting started. So we ended up a pack of self interested swampers looking for TV face time as our “representatives”.
**********”
They need to keep the theatrics up another day.
The positive of this clown show is the ‘Jan sixers’ aren’t going to be able to have their “rah rah party” tomorrow.
Hopefully, he gets a promotion.
Exactly.
Either you support McCarthy, and the Omnibus and other traitorous deals like it, OR, you support those trying to stop McCarthy and bills like that.
Easy choice, for me.
she was born here. That they weren’t citizens doesn’t come into play.
