Dark Horse for Speaker Proposal

I don't really see any way Kevin McCarthy gets to 218.

I don't see any other Republican member of the House getting there either.

And it's unlikely that enough Republicans would back a minority Democratic option.

Yeah, I could be wrong. But let's assume I'm not.

The Speaker of the House doesn't have to be a member of the House. They could pick you, or me, or Ryan Reynolds.

I can think of one former House member who would probably pick up a few Republican votes, and who might get unanimous or near-unanimous support from Democrats just to stick it to the Trumpists.

Yes, I'm talking about Liz Cheney.
