The Constitution of the United States is very explicit that the Speaker of the House of Representatives need not be a member of the chamber. So the fire sale Kevin McCarthy made of his power to secure the position begs the question- why didn’t the Republican caucus consider drawing from a larger pool of talent?
Satire1 opened the question up to the public on the corner of Belvedere Avenue and Loch Raven Boulevard in Charm City: Since any citizen can be elected Speaker of the House who do you think the Republicans should have chosen?

“Nancy Pelosi. The Republicans must elect Pelosi Speaker because hatred of her along with tax cuts and deregulation is really all that unites us anymore.”

“AOC is the one for me. She could be Speaker or better yet start her own reality show, The Real Bartenders of Queens or The Real Queens of Bartending.”
Snappy Pappy
“That would be a drag show. No, we need somebody who already has a good job like Governor DeSantis. He certainly wouldn’t allow a handful of Congressional District bitches push him around.”

“Donald J. Trump. Trump can run the country from the House of Congress. Biden’s already turned the White House grey. “

“I’d nominate Bezos or one of the other trillionaires but they’re already looking to leave the Earth for greener planets.”

“MTG. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, Insurrectionist Queen. If she and the lefties succeed in tearing America apart then everyone will see what color it bleeds.”
Red Red Shoes
Does the candidate have to be alive? We put a corpse in the White House two years ago. Didn’t like none of the living men. Abe. Abraham Lincoln. About time this country was ruled by a five dollar bill. Neither party has had a genuine new idea in five decades- six!
