Interesting ‘bout the 10 year thing. How ‘bout this scenario. Trump runs for congress in 2022 in Florida. Wins with house flipping to repub. Trump is then made speaker. The house impeaches Biteme and Camel Hair. The senate then convicts them. Then, being speaker, Trump becomes president, runs for president in 2024 and wins. Nice to dream. Even if the impeachment part doesn’t pan out the rest is very doable.
One of the problems the other Democratic House members have with “The Squad” is those members have played ball for years waiting their turn at the trough. The Squad wants to cut in line and it has created a lot of animosity. People who have been in office for years waiting their turn are not likely to vote to make Trump Speaker.
The reason we got Bob Dole as a presidential candidate is he had worked his whole career to get into that position. It was painfully obvious he was not a good candidate. But there was no way he was going to step aside just because there was no chance he could win. Ego is WAY more important than party.
