At GA Trump rally, GOP FL Rep Gaetz promises to nominate Trump for Spkr of the House. Although it’s never happened, the Spkr does not need to be a mbr of the body. However, the Spkr must secure an absolute majority of the the full House. Not just the most votes

I thought at the time Gingrich was not the right sort for Speaker, he was good at fighting the Guerrilla War and coming up with the Contract for America, but I just did not think he had the polish and skills to be Speaker. And I was right.

Trump has been President and would never settle to be Speaker and there again he does not have the temperament or political skills to be Speaker.

How could it be bigger than becoming President when Biden and Kamala are impeached and removed?

How could it be bigger? I think winning an election after being cheated out of one would work.

I think he wants the fight, and a clean win.

He’s a pretty straight-forward sort of man - doesn’t seem to like doing things in shifty ‘back door’ ways.

YMMV.

He’d make a great one but he’s still on a mission he wants to fulfill.

MAGA!

Yes, yes, yes.....Speaker Donald John Trump, impeach the lech and hyena and get them out of the Oval, resign as Speaker and get Getz or anyone but McCarthy or Crenshaw in as Speaker then get yourself back in the White House and start kickin’ arse and takin’ names.

Pure theater. Trump needs to stay miles away if he wants to run again in 2024. Plus, that type of role would not interest him.

Wow! You’re talking don’t count the chickens until the eggs hatch. That’s common sense. You expect anyone to embrace that at this point in History? We are mired in woulda, coulda, shoulda. Not, better screw your hat on straight and get it right.

If this is the best he can do while a member of the House, he should resign.

Maybe this might be an incentive for people to get involved in winning the House.

Stepping stone on a path to bigger and better opportunities.

I like the idea.

Just nominating Trump would make heads explode, which is always good. If he just held the post for a few months or maybe a year, he could move mountains and still have time for the 2024 circus. Think about changes you would like to see made to Congress.

Even if he did nothing else but root out corruption, his stint as Speaker would still be worth the time and effort.

I wonder if Trump could be both president and speaker? would certainly drive the libs to suicide.

“Gaetz must think we’re all stupid.”

At least half of the republican congress fits that category, remember the 140 members that voted for Liz Cheney.

Besides that, I think it would be a blast to watch the liberals explode and just maybe the republicans could impeach both Biden and Harris and in 2024 and the Speaker would become POTUS.

“...he does not have the temperament or political skills to be Speaker.”

AND your comment suggests Nancy does? Nance, who lies about conservatives at every chance? Nance, who sets up false impeachments more than once on DJT? come on...

Yes, then impeach Biden and Harris together - then the speaker becomes President. The cause against Harris is her complicity in the high crimes and misdemeanors of Biden.

My comment did not suggest any such thing. I was only commenting on Trump and his ability to be Speaker.

Nancy Pelosi is a separate issue and discussion.

Interesting you can’t separate and look at the issue with any objectivity. The job of Speaker is a complex one requiring great political skill, along with a knowledge of parliamentary procedure. Which neither Mr. Trump or Ms. Pelosi have.
