"Too late. You blew it. It's going to be very difficult for you to recover from this. You betrayed your base," raged X user Mark Watson who then began promoting Trump for speaker.

So random voters.

Ah yes, the hot take from checks notes

X user Mark Watson.

You say that like all the magas aren’t going to groupthink themselves into some kind of frenzy and boycott something.

What does Ja Rule Mark Watson think of all this?

Not necessarily even voters. A bunch of the Jan 6th loonies didn't even vote before throwing a hissy fit over the results. Some of the loudest ones are too busy screaming to make it to the polls.

Plenty of others do vote, though, so you should too.

All serious…what is the likelihood someone puts up trump for speaker and basically sets up a loyalty test? Remember…no one in the GOP house wants the title

Since the constitution doesn’t specify the speaker needs to be a house member or any member of government, Technically he could be nominated and this is a way for him to be an unelected member in the federal government only 3 positions away from the presidency. In this position, all he would need to do is get Biden and Harris removed through impeachment or (knowing him) any means necessary and he’s unelected president.

EDIT: yep two members of the house have publicly said they want trump for speaker. So what’s the likelihood that this will happen?

I believe one of his boot lickers entered his name for each of the 15 votes it took McCarthy to win previously. MTG was already saying she was going to do it again.
