In my opinion, if Trump wins the House will elect a new speaker. The Republican rebels will have the influence to out him. This is like the 1860 election in that way.
Ryan has banked it all on Trump losing. Should Trump win, Ryan’s only future is if he fails once in office. The Republicans will see that as easily as I do, and remove him, knowing that they cannot let Trump fail as their personal futures will depend on them helping him succeed.
sorry bro FReeper. but, i categorically reject every single point underpinning your argument.
for example, your assertion that there are gop rebels. there is no evidence whatsoever that there are any gop rebels. michele bachmann was the closest thing we had to a gop rebel in congress in the last 8 years and she was hamstrung and ultimately shutdown by the uniparty.
if Trump is elected as basically an independent, and i think he will be, he’ll have to deal from strength with a hostile uniparty congress. anything that weakens the uniparty, strengthens Trump. let’s hope he’s up to it.
