I know we're living in the crapsack timeline, but I didn't realize it was a crapsack made of little shit people that the Republicans sculpted like they were Play-Doh and then threw them in the sack and made screaming noises, pretending the little shit people were screaming, before declaring that sack to be their new second-in-command after Trump.
He won't become speaker he got to many legal problems and it takes away from him campaigning so we safe for now.
That's why it'd be so funny if he got huckleberry finn'd into the job
Couldn't he turn it down even if he gets the votes? Unless he knows something we don't know and MTG and pals have a plan to get him installed as president this way.
Installing the Speaker as President just requires removing Pres and VP. It's 3rd in line.
Like he did with the presidency?
He's using his legal problems as part of his campaigning tactic.
Becoming speaker makes him 3rd in line for the presidency and that sweet, sweet executive immunity. 4 more years before he could be prosecuted, and let's be fair it's about even odds he'd live that long.
