What do you think of this idea?

Can it happen? Should it happen?

In 2022, it’d be a Good Start on 2024.

Could, but won’t. Our RINO’s have no spines.

Imagine Pelousy in her gated mansion watching Speaker Trump on TV.
Could be the image next to the dictionary word “apoplectic.”

I think it’s a great idea. He would need to win his local congressional seat in Florida, and then the Republicans would need to take back the majority in 2022 and elect him as Speaker—I’ve always thought that would be the easiest and quickest way to put some check-and-balances back in place.

If I were to express joy with the concept of shoving a certain gavel somewhere amongst the current leadership of The House, would that be wrong?

He can’t. He was elected President, and still is. .

He doesn’t need to be a congressman to be Speaker.

I think anyway?

Anyone can be speaker

I think it’s a great idea too. Now here’s the interesting thing. The Speaker of the House of Representatives does not have to be a member of the House. So Trump need not win a congressional seat to become Speaker.

Not wrong at all. I’d pay good money to see you do it.

Somebody else had that idea many months ago and have talked about it on War Room for all those many months.

I can’t remember his name, but it was his original idea. And yes he can.

Legally possible.

He could be elected Pope too, but that is about as likely as being elected Speaker of the House.

Even more likely is that I will win the Powerball lottery two weeks in a row and be struck by lightning indoors both times that I go in the Lottery office to collect my money . (And I don’t buy lottery tickets.)

Considering the new congress won’t be sworn in until 2023, your idea is stupid - unless you have a secret plan to flip 7 or 8 current Dem seats.

In true Machiavellian form, the Rats would argue he can’t run because he’s still POTUS.

I read here in FR, about 3 months ago that he COULD.

There apparently is no guidance defining from where the speaker could be chosen.

In essence ... ALL of American politics was originally designed to appeal to the common man stepping up for a term and stepping down.

At least that's how I understand it.
