Gingrich for Speaker?

[BillB]

Hannity had Gingrich on his show, yesterday.
He asked Gingrich if he would return as House Speaker if asked to.
A person does not have to be a member of the House to be elected Speaker. (I wasn't aware of that).
Anyway, Gingrich said he would be open to it.
I don't think it will happen, but would prove interesting if it does.

In my opinion the Republicans need "New Blood".

Newt would be better than many, however.

I really don't think the country pays attention to this stuff..it's inside baseball.

better Newt than 'ryan' I think . Maybe 'tom delay' . --------- Seems to me that one of the best would be Ted Cruz but he is a Senator . Maybe Louie Gohmert .

[GFB]

It'll be one of the two guys running..Daniel Webster or Jason Chaffetz..probably Webster.

Don't be fooled by all the drama about "disarray."

Boehner got the boot..and now his hand picked successor got the boot.

"Disarray" means.. the Speaker is going to be a real live Conservative..and the Rinos as well as the MSM are freaking.

better Webster that the boy is my Guess !!

Gingrich endorsed McCarthy. No, thanks.

When all is said and done, there probably be more drama but as long as he have a veto proof majority we can't change things without help from some across the aisle.

I don't believe that for a minute. The Democrats are changing things while in the minority. Most of the Republicans just don't have the stomach for the fight. Either that, or they don't believe in the cause.

No stomach

How can you win if you can't override the vetos. That is why I referenced help from across the aisle.

You vote for what you want and force the president to the negotiating table. Get half of what you want. That's how it's always been done.

You never surrender before the fight even starts.
