The Speaker is not required to be a sitting Congressman. A better idea would be to elect Trump speaker after the Republican’s take over the House. If you wanted the same marketing effect as Trump running for Congress, you could get people to run on supporting Trump. That would take care of removing RHINOS from the primaries. This could be best accomplished by raising the trial balloon as to the intentions and then have Trump being coy and hinting about liking the idea without commitment. If Speker, then Trump could run the House with even a greater iron fist than Pelosi.
“The Speaker is not required to be a sitting Congressman.”
Trump as Speaker, sans a Representative District?
Yeah. Works for me!
Yep exactly, the Speaker of the House does not have to be an elected Representative.
