Troy Nehls, from Texas, calls Trump ‘the greatest president of my lifetime’ and says he will nominate him to replace Kevin McCarthy
A Texas Republican said he would nominate Donald Trump to be the next speaker of the US House of Representatives, after the party completed the unprecedented removal of one of its own, Kevin McCarthy.
Troy Nehls said: “This week, when the US House of Representatives reconvenes, my first order of business will be to nominate Donald J Trump for speaker of the US House of Representatives.
“President Trump, the greatest president of my lifetime, has a proven record of putting America first and will make the House great again.”
The speaker does not have to be a member of Congress, though no speaker has ever assumed the role without holding a seat.
Quite a few of them admit it, even - claiming that Obama was "divisive" (lol, really?) and too "extreme" (rotflmao) and that they were forced to vote for donnie as a result, and that donnie being in office is the fault of Obama.
The subtext is really: "other Americans actually voted for a BLAH and we had him for eight years even, and now I'm going to do the worst thing I can think of at the voting booth".
