I've known about this for years, but in this election cycle it seems like anything is possible.
Ted Cruz as Speaker, anyone?

Walter Williams as Speaker.
Thomas Sowell as Speaker.
Two great candidates because they don’t particularly want it, and are two awesome and smart guys.

wasn’t there a push to elect Allen West immediately after the 2014 midterms?

I’ve never seen anything from the Founders about this and assume they envisioned a Member serving either in a political or non-political role as was done at the time.
The language they wrote certainly allows for it, but I assume it is just a curiosity.

Jim Thompson for Speaker!
Heck for $5000 we could have registered

This seems very odd, since its a fact, 435 members could elect the 2nd in line to the Presidency.

They will probably bring back Cantor. A stick in the eye.

If a non-member of the House is elected Speaker, does he get a salary? I.e., did Boehner get a salary as SPEAKER, or as a REPRESENTATIVE.
