The answer is obvious.

The freedom caucus and the RINOs could only agree on one person to be speaker….

Trump

Think about it.

I dunno...maybe win first?

Maybe fight for close races?

Then worry who is going to be speaker...

I don’t think they’ll need to worry about filling that position.
Unfortunately.

TRUMP needs to be leading rallies and building up the MAGA base. He is the legitimate President. Becoming Speaker of the House would negate that.

“TRUMP needs to be leading rallies and building up the MAGA base.”

I’d rather he find ways to build his base without so many rallies. His base are the attendees. It’s the “preaching to the choir” thing. Like Paul and Christ in the New Testament, he needs to go where the “sinners” are.

Do some rallies, but consider the highest and best use of his financial war chest.

He has smart people working for him and it seems that they could come up with some good ideas for broader outreach.

Rallies maintain the base.

“Rallies maintain the base.”

True. I didn’t suggest ending them, just reducing them and putting more funds elsewhere.

Where and how?

Rallies are the most economical means for Trump to reach hundreds of thousands at a time

I don’t hold much hope for the feckless Rs. I am old enough to remember when it was Roy Blount, John Shaddegg and John Boehner running for the House leadership. The twits chose the least effective candidate as is their wont.

I know. But those hundreds of thousands already support him. Well-produced TV spots would reach more people outside of his sphere.

I love the rallies. Haven’t missed but a couple of them. Continue them but do other things in addition.

TRUMP hasn't announced his candidacy yet.

Very true. But that is a process that comes when it gets
closer to election time. He doesn’t need to wear people
out at this time.

IMO he needs to keep a lower profile until it nears election
day and then come out in full force for a chosen candidate
of his choice who isn’t named Donald John Trump. jmo
