Trump Casts Himself as Pelosi's Speaker Savior

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

President Donald Trump on Saturday said he can twist enough House Republican arms to give Nancy Pelosi the necessary votes to become speaker.

The California Democrat publicly says she has ample support within her own caucus to secure the gavel. But all indications are a floor vote could be close, meaning Republicans could opt — for a list of reasons — to put her over the top.

For Trump, making Pelosi speaker would give him the sense that she owes him legislatively and also ensure that his top campaign-trail foil, who remains intensely unpopular with Republican voters, remains in the headlines through his re-election bid.

“I can get Nancy Pelosi as many votes as she wants in order for her to be Speaker of the House,” he tweeted Saturday morning ahead of a trip to California to visit with people affected by wildfires.

Donald Trump and his performing ego.

1. Butt out, you asshole.

Your games aren't going to work here. No Democrat worth their salt is going to vote based on anything you say, so fuck off.

[RockRaven]

2. Trumpist House GOPers heads will explode if they have to choose between

defying Trump or voting for Pelosi. More importantly, their constituents heads will explode.

What a dumbass.

4. Oh lord! Now he's going to take credit when she's voted in

He's desparate for a win. He looks like such a loser after the mid-terms. Won't one of his sycophants play a few hands of gin rummy or or paker or old maid and let him win?

5. His twisted way of trying to prevent her from being the Speaker

She is the last person he wants in that position. I believe NOTHING he says on nearly everything - especially this topic.

[ananda]

6. She already has the votes.

45 is playing mindgames. He's totally fucked up!

7. A narcissist always wants to be on the winning side. n/t

He'll dump his base in a heartbeat to think he's winning.

8. Well, if not for Trump it's doubtful

all those seats would have flipped. So in that regard Trump has been a real boost for Rep. Pelosi and the Democratic caucus.

I doubt he sees it that way, though.

9. He needs SOMETHING to crow about! Nothing like hopping on a bandwagon...

He needs SOMETHING to crow about! Nothing like hopping on a bandwagon that's already in motion... and falsely claiming to be the SOLE person who made it happen.

I've seen that happen before. It's pretty damn pathetic.

10. If any Republic Party Congresscritter were to vote for Pelosi for Speaker of House,

they would be committing political suicide. They would definitely by primaried and most likely lose. They might as well just start caucusing with the Democratic Party and take their chances.

11. He's hoping Dems will reverse because of it...bc the right is SCARED of Pelosi. nt

14. I did not

see this latest "confession" - but is there actually one sane person anywhere who did not know that anyhow?

[LiberalFighter]

13. As usual, Trump is full of shit and a liar.

Pelosi does not need Trump's or the Republican's help. She has the votes.
