Rep. Jamie Raskin discusses the "political contamination of the GOP by Donald Trump" and warns that a Republican majority could make the former president the Speaker of the House.
"They talk about it repeatedly. And if Trump decided he wanted to do it, it would pose a profound problem for their party," Raskin told CBS's "Face The Nation."
MARGARET BRENNAN: Election deniers didn't prevail in the key battleground, but CBS tallied it and at least 155 House Republicans in the new Congress have raised unfounded doubts about the validity or integrity of the 2020 election.

FPDT as Speaker would be a disaster. He has no idea how it works, its rules and protocols, and would doubtlessly use the podium and gavel serendipitously. What would he do if he and the Parliamentarian would disagree on a procedural matter? No serious House member would stand for that stuff.

Trump has not contaminated the GOP at all. He has energized it and has done nothing but good. Those against him are contaminating the party. Imagine Pelosi handing the Gavel to Trump. In your face you dumb beyatch.

Unfortunately, w/o the senate (or a 2/3 house) the two commies in the p and vp positions couldn't be impeached and removed from office, which would make it feasible to return President Trump to office. So what would be the point?
Of course, you have to wonder if the DS uni-party was so terrified of the possibility that is why they so obviously short-stopped the 'red wave'.

And uno thinks Pelosi followed any rules or protocols? She ruled by brute force same way Trump will do it. Say what you may but President Trump IS not going anywhere - get used to it!

It’ll never happen. Not because it shouldn’t or couldn’t, but because The Establishment would never allow it. All populist candidates must be eventually destroyed. There will be no “will of the people” nonsense, only the will and power of the Uniparty…or as one poster put it, “serious House member[s].” The Establishment can KMA.

#1 tries again. This won’t fly, Orville… Not with Pelosi implanted in the job for so long. “Rules? What Rules! The Queen makes the Rules! Off with their heads!"

Considering who it would send into a nuclear conniption, yes please!
But the Republicans would never do anything this fun. Or interesting.

I live in Virginia on the opposite side of the Potomac from Raskin's district. To paraphrase Tina Fey, I can smell Raskin from my house! In a party filled with slimeballs, Reason is just about the slimiest of them all.

That will not happen.
President Trump has stated very plainly he is not interested in the position.

Un founded? There are serious questions at the "Foundation" of their doubts.
Disproven? No one has "Proved" any of the questions to be false, in fact many legislatures and courts have declared the practices initiated in 2020 to be "Unlawful" and never to be repeated. Where Dems have tried to legislatively enshrine them into new Law, they have been primarily voted down.
Radical fringe election deniers? Fully 65% of registered republicans polled, 35% of Democrats polled, even greater numbers of independents polled, all claim/suggest/think that the 2020 elections were manipulated/crooked/stolen.
1/3 of the total house membership, More than HALF of the elected repub members...is nor a "Fringe"
IF Dems spent as much time investigating , explaining and PROVING what the complaints are about never happened?
They might have some credibilty.
It's interesting that the last time they all rallied around "Republicans are Lying, NOTHING they claim is True!" Clinton ended up admitting it all actually was...and in response the group "Move on!" was formed to argue, "So what, get over it".
Now "Move on" has become the nationwide Radical Dem organizing and mobilization brigade(similar to what the Klan had been for Dems a generation earlier) Many of the election practices repubs are questioning were introduced by "ACORN", back in the Clinton days, were declared illegal then...Acorn has now changed names and recruited more people, received more funding and is entrenched nationwide again actively attempting 'unprecedented' campaign practices that they claim are not "specifically Illegal", because they are not "specifically forbidden' in times of "Emergency"...even though never permitted before, even in Emergencies.

45 as Speaker. Think of the press conferences and investigations that he would underwrite. Deep Stater heads would explode. MSM heads would explode. A dream come true.

It would be a brilliant move!
PDT would never invite biden to give the SOTU speech in the House chamber.
PDT would initiate lots of neat domestic policies.....for the common good.
PDT would criticize biden and kammie so much that even kammie will start drooling.
PDT can have his own investigations into J6, illegal vote tabulations, Hunter's laptop and anything else that needs attention. (and show the dems to be fools)
PDT will be 3rd in line for the POTUS. (2 heartbeats away...)
PDT can MAGA brand himself.....until 2024 (either to remain as SOTH or as POTUS)

I dont think his ego would allow him to accept a downgrade, but it sure would be great if he did. A bull in a china shop would be vacation compared to what Trump would do. It would be beautiful.

Trying to use this for stealing the House. Reskin is among those who put the “rat” in Democrat. Truly despicable person.

Disaster? As opposed to the efficient, trustworthy house of people that it is now? He’s not sophisticated to add Chinese nationals or lobbyists to his staff, how will he manage? Too bad he wouldn’t have experienced advisors, like Gingrich to show hm where the men’s room is.

Get Trump comfortably settled as Speaker. Let DeSantis run for President with his support. Sounds good but improbable.

First of all Trump is an executive not a politician. If they tried to make him speaker I do not believe he would accept the position as it is below his grade. Also, if you do not have at least 60 or 67 (what ever the requirement is, sorry about being lazy here) senators you can not impeach, convict (that’s where the senate comes in) there is no way you can remove anyone from those offices. Now, you may be able to get rid of Brandon under the 25th but you can’t do the 25th on Harris. Sorry folks stupid is not a medical disability under the constitution.

Just Raskin scare tactics.
At this point, there's no way a majority of House Republicans would vote for this, and no way the Donald would accept this.
