New one to me. The former guy can run for Congress in 2022 and become Speaker of the House

[brewens]

if the GOPedo gets the majority. Then impeach and remove Biden, then Harris, and just like that, he's president again.

This from a window cleaning contractor I was listening to on my morning walk. This idiot was hammering his employee with that crap and the guy cuts in with, "yeah, I heard about this before." Exactly like you do to agree with someone when you kind of have to, hoping they will STFU about it! The guy looked over at me and had to have seen my eye roll. I tried to telepathically tell him to get the hell out of there while he still can! LOL

[CrispyQ]

1. LOL. The Con would never do that.

He's been prez. Speaker would be like a demotion.

[SheilaAnn]

2. It would be oh so laughable though. Can you imagine? Comparing himself to Speaker Pelosi? Bwahaha

[elleng]

6. and NO idea what the job entails.

[Diamond_Dog]

11. House Speaker

would be WAY too much actual work for him.

[ProfessorGAC]

22. My First Thought

Speaker of the House is major work, pretty much every day. And, the campaign never ends, given a 2 year term.
Way too much effort required for that lazy fraud.

[drmeow]

21. That was my reaction

I heard this about a month ago and thought that he would consider the job beneath him.

[snowybirdie]

3. I'd fire that guy

Too crazy to be trustworthy.

Uh oh! Looks like stumps congressman died today! The fool may be on to something

[Cuthbert Allgood]

4. I mean theoretically, sure.

But Biden and Harris would need to be removed at the same time. Or they would have to have the House and Senate so that Harris wouldn't get a new VP appointed.

[LiberalFighter]

5. Someone should explain to him that Biden won that district 58-41.

Current U.S. Representative is Lois Frankel a Democrat. Has been in office since 2017.

Obama won the district in 2012 with 61-39 and Hillary in 2016 with 59-39.

[TheRealNorth]

13. There should be new districts in 2022....

So theoretically the Republicans in control of the state can draw map favorable to him (although I think this is a highly unlikely scenario). More likely is that one of his hellspawn (kids) would run.

[obamanut2012]

18. And, Frankel is well liked here

He will not beat her in this district.

[Caliman73]

7. Theoretically yes, practically...no way in hell.

Unless Republicans magically got 67 seats in the Senate, IF Trump won a seat, IF Republicans had the majority, IF Trump was able to get the votes to be speaker, IF Trump could organize an impeachment, They would still have to prove that any charges against Biden and Harris were legitimate and get 67 votes to remove Biden AND Harris from office. If we could not get the votes to remove Trump on clear evidence of wrong doing in both impeachments, then Trump has no chance to prove any legitimate case against Biden and Harris who are not actual crooks like Trump is.

Some people have to hold on to sad delusions to make their lives work. Pity.

[Whiskeytide]

10. I agree with everything you have said, except ...

... getting the votes to impeach and remove would not be a problem if they had 67 in the Senate. They would do it for spitting on the sidewalk (not that Biden would even do that).

If nothing else, the last few years have proven that they will vote party, not conscience. Every. Time.

[sir pball]

12. Not even theoretically.

14 Ds are up in 22, if Republicans won all of their races and every last one of the Dem seats, they'd still not have 67. Literally no way for it to happen before 2024 but according to them the Orange Manure Pile will be reelected so...

[brooklynite]

8. Just as likely as Hillary becoming President...

...by running for House, being named Speaker and Impeaching Trump.

Why do people waste their time dreaming up these crackpot scenarios?

(nb - which Democrats would join the Republicans to convict Biden, since you need 67 votes?)

[Mr.Bill]

9. He wouldn't have to run for Congress

to be speaker of the house. It's not required that the speaker be a member of Congress.

[OldCicero]

14. Exactly

The Constitution does not require the speaker to be an incumbent member of the House of Representatives, although every speaker thus far has been. The speaker is second in the United States presidential line of succession, after the vice president and ahead of the president pro tempore of the Senate.

[marble falls]

15. That needs fixing.

[Mr.Bill]

16. Considering some of the idiots currently in Congress,

I don't see what difference it would make.

[jmowreader]

17. Not a likely scenario...

There are Republicans in the House who've been there so long they're starting to grow moss. If Trump decided to run for Congress, he would enter as a freshman legislator...and the moss-bearers would never allow someone who's been in Congress one day to become Speaker.

[muriel_volestrangler]

19. Thank Steve Bannon for this one. As the first reply says,

"Good drugs can be the only excuse for this fairytale".

[jcgoldie]

20. I'm sure he would be a very effective speaker of the house...
