On Forbes Newsroom, California Democratic Congressman Brad Sherman floated the idea of former President George W. Bush becoming the next Speaker of the House.
“He could come back,” Sherman said. “Obviously, I’m not a real fan of how the Iraq War went, but I would think that any reasonable Republican would be somebody that Democrats could work with — if it was part of a system where you didn’t have five of the most extreme Republicans blocking important legislation and saying, ‘If you bring that to the floor for a vote, we’ll knock you out of your Speakership.’”
Sherman said that Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), the GOP conference’s choice, would be “among one of the worst Speakers that we could have,” though Jordan would be politically useful for Democrats due to being a “disaster.”

You mean the devil incarnate to the Democrats from 2001-2009 (because he kept power from them).
But he's apparently now sufficiently Democrat-ized.
He'll fund Ukraine and climate change and all the other Democrat priorities of the Democrat executive branch.
Oh, and let’s see if Brad Sherman actually nominates a REPUBLICAN for Speaker tomorrow or if he votes for Jeffries.
“Working with Democrats” means surrendering to their evil.
How about we float the both of you down the river
I don’t think W would be ready to deal with all the arguments and misplaced loyalties within today’s GOP.
He’s been on the Shady Lane sidelines for too long to just jump back into the swirl.
If Mitt had a partial brain transplant he would be the man for the job. He’s very organized and a good speaker!
At the federal level, no one works with Democrats, they work for Democrats.
Jeb!
The Democrats are starting to panic. They could have saved McCarthy and got some good out of that. Now they will be dealing with Jordan.
The letter after the name means jack anymore.
The only reason political parties still exist is to give voters the illusion of choice.
A pol is either loyal to our former republic or to Deep State.
Congress is Deep State.
So is GWB.
Tell me again Paul RYNO, FNC, and Lachlan Murdoch that Orange Man Bad.
Tools.
I’m sure Shrub will be right at home on F&F.
NO!
speaks volumes
Awesome! At least some Democrats know which team the Bush Crime Family is on unlike some of the morons here on FR.
I thought for sure this would be the Bee.
Hell No.
Clicking through TV channels a couple days ago, I saw Dubya doing an interview. He looked BAD! I hardly recognized him.
My thoughts exactly.
Bush is a RINO. He was merely the least worst candidate in the presidential elections.
If anyone was holding out W was and is a useful idiot, all doubt should be removed now....
I regret the hours I spent in 2004 working for that team...The alternative looked horrendous..
