What a stupid inside the beltway list. Well, okay, we already know from other reports that Trump is in the process of endorsing Jordan.

Maybe a better list for prospective speakers:

  1. Will you promise no backroom deals with Democrats and Biden?
  2. Will you use the power of the purse to accomplish Republican agenda?
  3. Will you let departments or entire government close to get budget deal?
  4. Will you promise no more aid and resources to Ukraine?
  5. Will you endorse timely investigations and impeachments, actions not just words?

And will you include border wall and barrier funding the entire Mexican border? All of it, no exceptions.

If Trump becomes Speaker, we won’t need a list.

Trump stated he’s willing to be Speaker.

Will you do your flipping job and PASS A BUDGET?

Over 200 years flood, fire, war, famine and pestilence and the House managed to come up with a budget.

The past twenty years I think you have passed five budgets.

A CFR is not a budget.

Not acceptable.

Yes, and near simultaneous reports that he is endorsing Jordan.

You know, they could make Trump speaker, then get Biden and Harris to resign, putting Trump back into the White House. Imagine that as a historical moment and a bit of karma.

Yes, pass a clean budget, department by department, up or down vote. The department close if a No vote, move on to the next. It is call power of the purse and it is past time for the house to again exercise their constitutional authority.

Some resources would have to go to Ukraine if we want to bring the two sides to the negotating table. The question is whether you give funds in order to end the war or in order to keep it going. Nobody’s going to cut them off cold turkey and take the responsibility for what happens afterwards.

As tickled as I am at the prospect of President Trump being elected Speaker of the House, I fear that it might quickly develop into a "briar patch"-scenario.

The position of Speaker requires even more insider, Beltway political smarts and dirty wheeling-and-dealing to get the job done than the Presidency.

This might be a sneaky way of getting Trump into a "no-win" situation, to appear to fail, and thus to worsen his prospects of being re-elected.

Regards,

Are you dumb enough to trust Nancy Pelosi to have your back?

I would like that.

I would also like a balanced budget.

I figure I will get that the same week Santa brings me a pony.

But a budget they can and should do. If not they should not be paid. They failed to do their job. Their one stinking job.

“You know, they could make Trump speaker, then get Biden and Harris to resign, putting Trump back into the White House.”

Interesting scenario. Hypothetically, if this were to happen, could Trump run for president in 2024 due to term limits on the presidency?

How many of those geniuses you admire ever built billion dollar empires?

Oh yea Trump's a putz that doesn't understand how dealing works < /sarcasm >

BTW: Trump accomplished more for America in one four year term than any President in your lifetime...Putting past Presidents, Congressmen, Senators and even Generals, all squirming in their seats in shame.

As I posted earlier; Trump gets some Dem support by supporting continuing Ukraine aid to some level while insisting it be tied to full building of his version of border wall the entire border length. Discuss our national need for influx of legal immigrants vetted and selected at specific border points. Perhaps a new “Ellis Island” this time in Texas or New Mexico or Mississippi.
We solve the uncontrolled border and our demographic problem of low birthrate that defends social security. We don’t let Ukraine fail on our watch but don’t lavishly fund the corruption either.
We change tax policy to incentivize conservative higher birthrate numbers also.
All to install Trump as speaker as a springboard to his second term.

I was not denigrating President Trump's performance in office. It's just that those skills are not necessarily transferrable to the position of Speaker. And the Speaker has different duties and responsibilities. Back-room dealing - except from a position of undisputed power, e.g., as CEO of a company or as President of the nation - is/was not Trump's forte.
