I wish Louie Gohmert would either put his own name forward to be speaker and take responsibility to solve the problems he complains about or admit he just likes to raise trouble without having to be accountable.
And I do like what Gohmert says. There was an old saying back when I was in the Army: “Lead, follow, or get out of the way.” It is time for Gohmert to step into leadership.
Gohmert could never get the 124 votes he needs.
Gohmert says he has burnt too many bridges . He is a poriah in the House as Ted Cruz is in the senate .
That’s much, much more difficult to do in the political arena than you realize. EVERY politician is expected to compromise his/her core values at some point and go along to get along - that’s how most of them get the funding they need to get elected. Only a select few are willing to hold consistently to their core values and the chance that one of them could become speaker is so remote that it’s inconsequential.
