Who says its one or the other?
If Trump is on the ballot you get the people who supported Trump in spite of the GOPe to show up...
If he’s not on the ballot, don’t think they will show up.
Waste 2 years in the house? 2 years a speaker is not NOTHING... controls the house agenda, and counters and calls out the stupidity of the Dems daily... You think Kevin McCarthy is going to do that? Please.
Trump ON THE BALLOT nationalizes the election... Trump not on the ballot... forget about it... the 10s of millions of loyal GOP voters who watch their party do nothing while an election was stolen, plus the Trump base (who is NOT THE GOP BASE) stay home.
If the speakership is a waste, tell me why Pelosi is so reviled?
Trump runs, every GOP running for house has to go ON THE RECORD during the election of whether or not they will support Trump... This allows those who won’t to be easily identified, destroyed in primaries or voted out in general.
Trump runs the house for 2 years, then returns to the white house in 2024.
This all presupposes a somewhat fair election in 2022 and beyond.
If he’s not on the ballot, don’t think they will show up.
In 434 congressional districts he won't be on the ballot.

Trump can call out the stupidity of the Dems from Mar-a-Lago, he doesn't need a House seat for that. And if he is elected then he immediately starts running for the presidency. How do you do Speaker stuff, much less the day to day Representative stuff, while doing that?
