I'm not saying it's got legs... but I can say it has a leg... Multiple Republicans say they want to nominate Trump as Speaker... It's made it on Fox News and a saw a clip this morning with MYG on some other network stating her interest in nominating Trump.

From what I hear Trump is interested in the job... MTG, stated she'll be talking to The Donald later today about this...

This would be cool... If Trump is the Speaker it'll through the Marxist off balance... And Trump can work on deals that will help America,,, Close the boarder... De-fund the weaponized DOJ... Release the J6 videos work on budget reform....

More importantly he can Make The House Great Again!!!

There is technically nothing that says they have to be a member to be
elected, but those 8 Republicans who voted to remove McCarthy are no where
near enough votes to elect someone from outside.

I think this is another smoke screen. They got rid of McCarthy to appease
some folks without having any idea of what to do next, so they throw Trump's name in the mix.

And the answer is .... NO... Constitution doesn't say they have to be a congressman/woman... Just someone elected by a majority... MTG and a few others said they'll nominate him...

I like Jim Jordan. He knows that Fauci caused covid, and he's not afraid to say it.

I hope they don't change the rule about being able to remove a lousy speaker.

McCarthy needed to be removed, so it's obvious the rule needs to stay in place.

If every Republican voted Trump for speaker, then we'd be in good shape! But there are like hundreds of RINOs in there.

Never mind Trump's love for making deal... the budget... it would bee a hoot to see it unfold..

What I don't know is... Can Jim Jordan remain as one of the investigators, because he's soooooooooooo good, and still be a house leader.

Nancy Mace has thrown her hat in the race... She's one of the ones who voted with Matt Gaetz... She's conservative and is on the same page with others about budget and proper order.

BTW, Jim was on the news talking about what he'd do if her were speaker. Trump is going to Washington in a couple days over this as well, as per Trump.

About the vacate rule... it's always been there... but McCarthy lowered the threshold to get the job.... to only 1... not a good idea... I'm glad McCarthy is out... but if they don't return it back to a more meaningful number we'll be going through speakers ever other week.

We think he would, and he probably would, but as house speaker he has less time to get anything done because the house can flip from year to year.

I think there's only 1 office that we want Trump in.

What I don't know is... Can Jim Jordan remain as one of the
investigators, because he's soooooooooooo good, and still be a house leader.

As great as he is, he's one out of 535 who failed to get anything done with our limited time with this GOP majority that we have. He should have been more vocal about how urgent it is to act on all this sabotage that the Democrats are doing.

None of them are better than the other, with maybe the exception of Gaetz for putting an end to McCarthy's feet dragging.

Hello Joe,

I think this is another smoke screen. They got rid of McCarthy MP>to

appease some folks without having any idea of what to do next, MP>so they throw Trump's name in the mix.

I'm not saying Trump should do it... He said he would if called to do it. If Trump were to do it he'd probably get the job done, he likes to make deals.

Matt Gaetz is a pawn. Used by Trump to cause trouble. All it took,
according to their own rules, was one member to call for a vote to
ditch the speaker. Although 210 Republicans voted to keep McCarthy
in his post as speaker, it was not enough to overcome the "gang of
8" from getting their way. So now you are stuck with mayhem. Total
mayhem. As orchestrated by Donald J. Trump himself.

Trump would have to get voted in with 218 votes and if he really wanted the
job he could get them...

Dream on, buddy. Dream on ...

Trump said he's going to DC on Tuesday to throw his support behind Jim Jordan, the person he endorsed yesterday.

It took Kevin McCarthy 15 ballots to get the gig. How many ballots
do you think it will take Jim Jordan? Or Steve Scalise? Or any of a
number of other contenders? Voting starts on Wedesday. So be sure
to hedge your bets now, and be sure to have plenty of popcorn.

If Trump became speaker the DOJ and their minion would find an other 4 or 5
indictments for him.. :)

There are far too many factions that make the possibility of Trump
being elected speaker slim to none. Closer to none.

Yes, there is Rule 26. But rules can be changed. Or suspended.
Or totally done away with. And you know what? After Republicans
finally figure out who they want as their next speaker, that
very same rule will remain.

And the gang of 8 will be right back at it, doing their thing.

OTOH -

As shown by the "gang of 8" any faction can do the same thing.
Which makes it an impossibility for Trump to get elected speaker.
Unless Democrats decide to play a cosmic joke on the House. Which
Adam Schiff might do, as he will soon be moving on to the Senate.

and a comment on yours about... "They had no idea what to do next".

What is their philosophy? Do they even have a philosophy?
What exists is not a political party, but a cult of personality.
The cult of Trump. What it stands for is anybody's guess.

They did... get rid of Kevin Pelosi and replace him with a non-RINO.

Mayhem. Total mayhem. A morally defunct philosophy of nothingness.

Hello Joe,

I don't know that answer...

FDR was a fiscal conservative who saved this country from itself.
JFK, and later LBJ, were upgrades. And then came others who followed
suit. Such as Carter, Clinton, Obama, Biden ...

I don't have an issue with RINOs being exposed...

The Republican Party has no philosophy. What it consists of today
are traitors and cowards. Which explains why Mitt Romney has decided
to call it a day, hanging it up at the end of his term.

Republicans have an issue with RINOs...

There are no Republicans, as all that is left of what used to be
a political party are traitors and cowards.

notice that the Democrats don't have have Democrats who say they are Democrats and vote like a republican.

Joe Manchin still claims to be a Democrat, but votes like something
else. But no matter. He will be leaving the building at the same time
as Romney.

(the ones needed to win... like the ones needed for the Red Wave that
didn't happen) will look at it and figure that the Republicans cannot stop bickering amongst themselves long enough to lead anything.

On 07 Oct 2023, Mike Powell said the following...

So making a deal that needs to be made = RINO?

No, selling out your constituents and or the core values your constituents elected you on does. If Kevin Pelosi made a deal with people to get the Speakership, don't act like a cry baby if they exercise options to fire you if you work out some side deal with the democrats that were counter intuitive to the deal you worked out to get the job.

Trump loves the art of a deal. Does that mean he could be outed as a RINO?

Trump is not a sell out... For example... Trump got Criminal Justice Reform, worked with Democrats and advocates in the industry to get this... All without selling out his core principles. Trump worked on peace in the middle east and had several middle eastern countries sign the Abraham Accord... Largest peace deal ever struck... we were on the right path to finally have peace in the middle east.... not now...

There are several other examples where Trump did everything to put the American people first... Negotiated a new NAFTA deal.... Got Mexico to give 28,000 solders to defend our border... Charged China tariffs for unfair trade practices and then gave US farmers billions of dollars to support the US farmers because China was unfairly targeting them...

When it comes to the American people there is a huge difference between Joe Biden and Donald Trump's negotiating skills...

The problem with all this RINO business is that, while it plays good to the solid supporters and MAGA crowd, the more centerist and independent voters (the ones needed to win... like the ones needed for the Red Wave that didn't happen) will look at it and figure that the Republicans
cannot stop bickering amongst themselves long enough to lead anything.

This stuff you call bickering is called accountability and debate... At the end of the day the voters will have to choose between open border, crime, mayhem, Bidenomic, inflation, unemployment, World War III and unrest in the middle east.... Of they can martial in lower spending, lower inflation, back to the best economy the US has ever had, low crime, secure border, lower illegals coming into the country.... Less drug overdoses... No world war III peace in the middle east... Just a general feeling of safety...

You also said that this will not lead to anything... Like you can tell the future... So far in the last 9 months the Republicans have exposed the Biden crime family, and they are about to be ables to accelerate this with Kevin gone... And we can now look a little harder into spending reduction.

I am hopeful for the future because republican hold their leaders accountable

Hello Dale,

I have said it before, but it is worth saying again. Trump, his solid supporters and the MAGA crowd are the true RINOs. The best true Republicans either died or are leaving what the republican party has become.

There is no republican party. It took 15 ballots for a collection
of 220 misfits to elect the last speaker, and only 1 misfit to bring
him down nine months later. This was the first time in US history
a sitting speaker was ousted. And by his own "party" members.

The last two Republican speakers (Boehner and Gingrich) quit in
disgust, rather than wait to be ousted by their colleagues. But back
then their organization was still a party rather than a circus.

I wonder how many ballots it is going to take this group of MAGA
nutjobs to elect their next speaker? Or how long they will remain
content with whoever they choose? Will that speaker last longer
than McCarthy? Maybe Matt Gaetz will get the gavel, and make it to
Hallowe'en, when another putsch takes place.

You do realize the same one-member rule will still be in effect
when the next speaker takes the helm. Just one member is all it
takes to object, and a new election must take place to fill the
speaker's seat ...

Gosh. The gang of 8 has what used to be the republican party
by the balls. And is squeezing for all it can get.

Doesn't matter if the next speaker is Steve Scalise.
Doesn't matter if the next speaker is Jim Jordan.
Doesn't matter if the next speaker is Dale Shipp.
The gang of 8 will always get what it wants.
Speaker after speaker after speaker after speaker ...

What used to be a political party is nothing more than a cult
of personality. It has no philosophy, and is more of a collection
of individuals who like to rant.

The House cannot conduct business until a new speaker has
been elected. How many ballots, or how long that will take,
is unknown. It may be quite a while until a solution has
been found.

But there is hope. Democrats have a plan. A plan to save
America from itself. Elect Jeffries as speaker, and all will
be well. Regardless of party, or no party.

Until Matt Gaetz pulls the plug.

The US Constitution makes mention of only one election that
must be held by Congress - the Speaker of the House. What those
Framers forgot to mention was how to do it, leaving that choice
up to the body politic.

For Life,
Lee

You get back with me when Joe is indicted, or when he is no longer the
Democrat front-runner because of this (and not because he is senile, which
has a far greater chance of happening).

The only people who seem to care about what Joe might have done are us, and
we are not likely to ever vote for him so the net result is zero.

Now, the unfreezing of Iranian funds and the supposedly unrelated sudden escalation of unrest in Israel might also get him in trouble -- that could certainly be considered a political mis-step (I believe it is) but is not illegal.
