Trump could establish residency anywhere in Florida to become speaker. And McCarthy could do all the work for him.

Just a reminder, you don’t have to be a member of the House to be elected Speaker of the House.

Why would he have to establish residency?

Why would he have to establish residency?

Good point. The speaker could be anyone.

 

[WakeBored]

Terrifying thought, and all the more reason to convict him and bar him from holding office again.

 

[PhDeac]

Well it would address a potential Democrat turnout problem. If Republicans really want to put Trump on the ballot like that, they can go for it.

Requires Republicans to understand and be willing to do the right thing.

Seems a high hope.

"I said, 'She's bad for the party,'" Cowan told Axios during a 30-minute interview Thursday. "I said she has real problems and does not represent, at least what I think of as, someone who would be allowed even in a big-tented party. I mean, at some point, you have to say, 'No shoes, no shirt, no service.'"

 

[ConnorEl]

At “some point”, well in the past, your party chose dishonest passion over decency.

What did you think would be the outcome?

Sounds just like the early fears about Trump. They'll come around.

She is disgusting

 

[WakeForestRanger]

Seems unnecessary, just jettison the handful that still believe in democracy and keep the branding.

 

[RJKarl]

PLEASE START A TRUMP PARTY!!!!!

I think this is the plan. Extreme gerrymandering then primary anybody who crossed Trump.
