Somewhat numbing these days, in the worst way, ruth marcuss suggestion that donald trump as speaker would at least keep it interesting. I dont need house to be more interesting than it is. You live in interesting times. Somebody else, right. You live in interesting trey times, the rest of us can live here. Have a good time, see you next week. Right now in america there are two dame trumps, not literally, perish the thought, but there is no trump the leader of the republican party, who is busy, as you just heard, endorsing candidates for House Speaker after the congressional wing of the republican conference that is in thrall to him through Kevin Mccarthy out, then there is defendant trump, whose last week has been going a little differently than party leader trump.

Why would the speaker of the u. S. House of representatives third in line in the presidency, launch a presidency that appears to be both strategically and politically unwise . Easy.
