Just because Repubs do not go with Trump does not mean getting a speaker is going to be easy. Like DJ was saying they are going to go a hundred rounds trying to decide on somebody. But I think people will get tired of the voting and just pick somebody already in there.

I have to go along with what Wil said. Nobody wants Trump up there in congress. They act like they like him so all his suckers keep voting for them. But a lot of Repubs do not like him. Plus they know all these trials can go south at any time. They do not want to go down with him.

USA Today:

Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo., one of the House Republicans who voted last week to oust House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., vowed that former President Donald Trump will not become the leader of the lower chamber. Asked on ABC’s “This Week” about Republicans who have called for Trump to fill the role, Buck said “that’s not going to happen.” “It shouldn’t happen, and we have a lot of talent inside the House,” he said. “We’ll settle this inside the House Republican conference, and we will elect someone who’ll have the unity and the backing of the full conference.” The question came after Trump said last week that he would consider accepting the speakership temporarily if Republicans deadlock on selecting a new speaker.
