Do the Republicans really think having Trump as Speaker of the house is a good idea?

Trump delegated his job as President to Jared so he could do rallies. Trump was the only President ever to start campaigning again in his first year in office. He went rouge many times, supporting Putin rather than all agencies that protect the US. What if Trump goes rouge as Speaker? How does he get the adulation he needs as Speaker? How does he keep his name in the Media as Speaker?

It will be at their own demise.

@Zonuss Actually, think about this. Might Republicans actually be better off letting Trump run for the house as opposed to sitting back and posturing for 2024?

@MistyCee He can fight all of his criminal charges from within the Government. Make deals to drop charges.

@Pitchblue IF he could get elected, I suppose that could be a problem, but his neighbors don't seem to like him, and I don't see him getting votes door to door.

Honestly, there's no way I think his ego could take it, and he's supremely unfit for the job, but I can see where, in the long run, some Republicans might be relieved at him screwing up and being able to get rid of him.

Obviously, it would be bad for the country, but that hasn't seemed to factor into their analysis much.

@MistyCee All candidates for speaker must be nominated by members of the House, but they don’t need to be elected lawmakers of the House. The Republicans can nominate him specifically to fuck with all Democrat Bills. They don't care about the country or the people, they just want the power. The second they are in power again they will be giving money and power to the rich and the corporations again.

@Pitchblue Huh?

This one's new to me. The speaker can be Joe blow off the street and not have been elected to Congress?

Keeping up with all the norms and traditions that these "conservatives" seem willing to do away with to "own the libs," serve Trump, and maintain power at any cost is exhausting.

I'm glad I have a day job.
