Steve Bannon wants Trump to run forhe enate in 2022 & defeat Mitch!

[napi21]

Got this message from the Georgia PAC looking for $$ of course.

"We know Trump would want nothing less than to become Speaker of the House and RUIN President Biden’s gun violence prevention agenda -- for REVENGE."

I can think of nothing worse! Id love to get ri of Mitch, but not be replced by someone WORSE!!

1. Won't happen

The former guy is not a team player and never has been.

He is not going to sit still and be (if, Goddess forbid, he wins a seat) a junior senator and sit on committees and wait his turn to speak and so forth.

[leftieNanner]

5. Correct

Plus he's thoroughly LAZY and being a Senator or Congress-critter involves actually doing work and showing up at your office before noon. Plus no Diet Coke button on your desk.

[Irish_Dem]

16. He wouldn't actually do any work, except to stir up trouble.

[keithbvadu2]

24. You beat me to it.

No executive time.

[leftieNanner]

25. I do understand that the Senate has a TV

In the cloak room. Maybe he could put his desk in there.

[keithbvadu2]

27. And have Kanye pounding on the desk saying MF and BS like they did in the Oval Office.

And have Kanye pounding on the desk saying MF and BS like they did in the Oval Office.

[Retrograde]

38. No diet coke button, no AF1, no Secret Service detail

no being invited to G7 or G20 or other summits, no signing executive orders, no people treating him like he's important - his ego wouldn't stand for his being the junior senator from Wherever.

[lettucebe]

2. He will never run for Senate and it's a ridiculous idea

Former presidents do not run for a lower office. That'd be like a CEO taking a sale's job -- for what? Work his way back up? It's silly and stupid, as usual from these people.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

4. That would be the best thing to happen to us. We could tie the whole rotten party to him.

[rsdsharp]

12. John Quincy Adams spent a long career in the House

after his Presidency. Although it’s kind of a lateral move, Taft was Chief Justice after he was President.

23. "Undercover Boss-The Ultimate Season"

[Aristus]

26. John Quincy Adams followed his so-so Presidency by becoming one of the greatest

Congressional Representatives in Massachusetts' history.

[Deuxcents]

34. I agree

I’m also wondering if he’ll be physically able to run for any office. No pun intended..he’s in bad health now n who knows in 2 years.

[Retrograde]

39. John Quincy Adams ran for congress after he was president

won, and served several terms, where he antagonized Southern congressmen by pushing for an end to slavery.

But that was a long time ago, when book deals weren't a big thing.

[leftieNanner]

3. Um. Is Steve Bannon really that stupid?

He wants T**** to run for SENATE and then become Speaker of the House?

Geez.

[Irish_Dem]

17. Right, they don't even know how congress is organized.

[FakeNoose]

18. I'm sure this is clickbait that gets sent out to the regular donors

I can't believe Steve Bannon would have ever said it or thought it. They're just looking for any desperate reason to ask the rubes for more money.

[leftieNanner]

20. I think you're right

But that would be quite a feat. Take out McConnell AND Pelosi in one fell swoop!

I'm sure #45 could handle it though.

[FakeNoose]

30. It couldn't be done

If Chump wanted to beat Pelosi, he'd have to run for a House seat, presumably from California. But he doesn't have a residence in CA, so it's not possible. If he did have a CA residence, Pelosi's district wouldn't elect him as their representative. Even if Chump somehow managed to get elected to the House of Representatives, he doesn't have any seniority over Nancy who is chosen as Speaker by the entire group of Dem representatives.

If Chump wanted to beat Mitch McConnell, he'd have to wait until the 2026 election. Mitch just got re-elected for a 6 year term. Mitch is in the Senate not the House, and Chump would need to have a residence in Kentucky to be able to declare himself a candidate in the race. Chances are good that McConnell won't be running again anyway, but if he does it won't be for 5.5 years.

Long story short, this is all crazy-talk.

[leftieNanner]

32. I'm sorry, I forgot to add

to my post. But thank you for your thoughtful response.

[FakeNoose]

33. ...

[magicarpet]

6. US Constitution,....

Amendment 14, Section 3,

PRONTO !

[Silver1]

7. Nah. He wants to be king or bust.

[rsdsharp]

8. There is so much wrong with this.

1. Mitch is in the Senate, not the House, so defeating him would help Trump be Speaker.
2. Mitch was just re-elected, so he’s not up in 2022 in any event.
3. Trump doesn’t live in Kentucky, and wouldn’t move there on a bet.
4. Trump wants nothing less than to become Speaker? So becoming Speaker is the last possible thing he wants in life, I guess.

[tulipsandroses]

9. Now they are just making up shit, they know their listeners are that dumb

The well is really dry huh?

[Ka-Dinh Oy]

10. Going from president to senator.

A few steps below the power of President and he would not like that.

[bdamomma]

11. Nope

I think he would rather sit in Rush's seat.

[LeftInTX]

13. Mitch won't be up for re-election til 2026

[msfiddlestix]

14. That's funny, Bannon wanted the Con to be speaker of the house last night.

This is about raking big money for himself and his mob clan. Some of it is to raise legal defense, and other campaigns..

There ought to be a law.

[SlogginThroughIt]

15. Wait. Run for senate and become speaker of the house?

[Celerity]

31. hell throw in POTUS too, God Emperor trinity

[Vogon_Glory]

19. Moscow Mitch is safe until 2026

Amy McGrath was unable to dislodge him last November.

[bluestarone]

21. Moscow is gonna REGRET

Not getting rid of QRUMP.

[mahina]

22. I just read Bannon said that Trump had dementia and they were going to 25th him

[Blue Dawn]

36. Yes, I read this earlier today, too.

How can he have been convinced that Trump had early dementia but now thinks Trump would be great at doing ANYTHING?!

[dawg day]

28. How could he replace Mitch? Different states.

And Mitch is senate minority leader... not speaker of the house.
Then again, why the GA GOP would raise money for another state's election... well, of course, it's not for a reason. They're just grifting off Trump's plankton.

Plus we all know now that Bannon's been saying for 3 years that Trump is senile.

[marlakay]

29. No way would Trump move to Kentucky

A laugh just thinking of it...

[FelineOverlord]

35. This was actually reported by WAPO

[moose65]

37. I saw a variation of this earlier

Apparently, the House can elect whoever they want as Speaker, even someone who isn’t even a member of the House. Can that really be true??

The story I read was more along the lines of: IF the Republicans retake the House in 2022, they should elect Trump as speaker so he can I impeach Biden for - something.

McConnell just won re-election in 2020. He won’t have to run again till 2026, if he lasts that long.
