'That's not going to happen': GOP lawmaker says Donald Trump won't be speaker of the House

Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo., one of the House Republicans who voted last week to oust House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., vowed that former President Donald Trump will not become the leader of the lower chamber.

Asked on ABC’s “This Week” about Republicans who have called for Trump to fill the role, Buck said “that’s not going to happen.”

“It shouldn’t happen, and we have a lot of talent inside the House,” he said. “We’ll settle this inside the House Republican conference, and we will elect someone who’ll have the unity and the backing of the full conference.”

No sense in trying to actually govern in a logical, responsible and substantive manner. Oh yeah, and Tuberville is really helping things over in the Senate too. Truly, the inmates are running the asylum. RHODC-- Real housemembers of DC...drama for it's own sake.

Crazies will not go along with anyone who fails their litmus test du jour.
Each such test is crazier than the previous ... homophobia, cutting off funding for DOJ, FBI, DoD, Medicare, whatever ...

So then ..... ?
