I was never arrested and never a Democrat.
List his accomplishments.
Yet you like to cast stones to score political points.
Look up his Banking, Credit and Finance accomplishments yourself — he obviously was able to impress enough people who really know him to consider him for Speaker.
Ok, since you’re too blinded/lazy to look it up yourself:
“ Donalds began his professional career in 2003 as a credit analyst at TIB Bank. He was promoted to senior credit analyst in 2004, and later promoted to commercial credit manager, assistant vice president, and credit manager. Donalds left TIB Bank in 2007 and took a position as a portfolio manager at CMG Surety LLC. In 2015, he joined Wells Fargo Advisors as a Financial Advisor.[16]”
Last time I checked, we could certainly use someone with these skills in leadership positions in the House.
Also, because he is relatively new, he is probably the least compromised/corrupted of the bunch — kinda like Trump who had little political experience.
