I kind of hope the (R)-slurs win in 2022 if they do this. Even better if DDR doesnât even run for congress and tried to get voted as speaker since they donât even need to be a member of congress. Dramacoin to Saturn
Probably more likely to happen if trump doesnât run. Him running is basically a âvote in the midterms as to not have to deal with trump as speakerâ advertisement for Dems which already lead to a major turnout for dems in the last election.
DDR doesnât even need to be in congress to be selected as House Speaker. He can just ask Kevin McCarthy right after the midterms assuming they win and ask to be Speaker
Normally Iâd say Republicans will pick up multiple seats in the midterms, not 50 like mentioned in the article but some as the party not controlling the White House usually does.
Dems also havenât been going to crazy with their proposals and the dem base seems pretty engaged for now. While some Repubs havenât exactly been doing a good job convincing the people who arenât in the votes repub no matter what people with people like Marjorieâs antics and their general anti working class stuff like trying to short covid unemployment time frame and stimulus. So weâll see how that effects things.
If Trump decides to run for a house seat, especially on a plan of becoming house speaker and being himself. The dem base will probably be more active than ever during the midterm season. Vote in midterms and win or republicans will have a majority with trump as speaker of the house is some of the best go vote advertising the dems could have. Looking at voter opinions on candidates before the last election, Joe didnât win because people really really liked him but because people were done with Trump in charge of anything.
Political fundamentals and traditional wisdom assumes standard meta play in both directions.
For example, historically the party that loses the WH, senate, and house, recalibrate and try to win back voters they've lost and reject things that caused them to lose said voters.
The GOP has doubled down on those things and seems completely uninterested in fixing anything.
This was true of Trump too - tons of people kept claiming he was favored to win a second term operating under traditional political wisdom.
Except presidents that have a bad mid-term move towards the center and secure a larger base for their second national election, and Trump wasn't doing any of that.
senate, and house, recalibrate and try to win back voters they've lost and reject things that caused them to lose said voters.
The GOP has doubled down on those things and seems completely uninterested in fixing anything.
Part of that is Trump and his band of culty people like Lindell, Powell, Giuliani, etc have managed to convince 50% of their base that thereâs nothing that can ever show the election wasnât stolen from Trump by criminal actions. Trumpism itself is still alive and well in an even larger percent of the Republican base even if they think he lost fair and square also.
Add in the conspiracy theories like Q. The fact that if you disagree with Trump or the most extreme branches on anything from reality to policy while being a Republican rep currently youâre automatically labeled a rhino and not a true conservative even though your policy positions sure are.
If the GOP actually decides to pivot it could cause a split in the party voting wise and possibly lose their seat of anyone who suggested anything that wasnât further right than where they are right now.
As speaker, article 2 gives me tremendous, tremendous power. It says so right in the constitution folks, believe me. What? I don't have article 2? A gavel? What the fuck's a gavel? Can I hit Sleepy Joe with it?

Seems less likely than his becoming the 45th President, so I'm sure it'll happen

I mean speaker of the house maybe but getting into congress as a former president doesn't seem that hard.

Some signs and luck seem all you need to get into the House. Speaker? I don't think they make the poorest talkers the speakers.
But a boy can dream đ

All daddy needs to do is ask. There is no way the (R)-slurs in the house will say no

We're in uncharted territory right now.

The pandemic sort of fucked with that.

I'm not convinced the pandemic cost Trump the election.
If it did, it was his own incompetence, not the pandemic. Every other world leader gained popularity.
10 Pepperglue 2021-06-05
That would be quite a development. I am all for it.
