'I will do it if necessary': Trump not ruling out being new House speaker - All In - MSNBC

“The fundamental problem of course is that Trump – or someone like him – is what the Republican base is demanding,” says Chris Hayes. “The problem is, many folks in the MAGA movement want Trump for Speaker, not in spite of his indictments, but because of them. Because Trump matters to them inasmuch as he can enrage the people they don’t like and – crucially – vandalize, desecrate, and destroy the institutions they have come to despise.” - Aired on 10/05/2023.

1. This can't really be happening, can it? Trump wouldn't know how to run an auction

let alone the US House of Representatives. He doesn't even believe in Representatives. He believes in Trump. Period.

2. Exactly! That's what makes his threats as scary as hell!

Would Republican Reps be vindictive enough to vote him in??

3. Wonder what he means by "if necessay"?

Necessary for whom?

5. Necessary for the MAGAts in Congress??

They aren't in any hurry to find their next Speaker, they're too divided.
