> [@Euphonious\_Polemic](#): > > “Do you want to see Trump as Speaker of the House of Representatives? No? THEN GET OUT AND VOTE.” Now, I’m not saying I want to see Trump as Speaker of the House, but I am saying, if this were to happen, I’m going to enjoy the spectacle of him trying to get this bunch of do-nothing idiots he’s cultivated to actually do something. I’ll probably start an over-under for how long it will take Empty Greene to declare him a “RINO crypto-commie”.
