It was a great opportunity for the Dems to reciprocate and show that bipartisanship can work and be rewarded. Kicking him in the teeth just plunges everyone back to cutthroat partisanship.
Very sad.

So anyway, if the Speaker isn't an elected rep, does he still vote or does he just sit there?
“A lot of people have been calling me about speaker,” Trump said Wednesday morning. “All I can say is we will do whatever is best for the country and the Republican Party.”
Trump’s name was immediately floated by supporters after the successful vote to depose McCarthy, and a Trump adviser Tuesday night told NBC News that Republican members of the House had already been asking Trump to serve as an interim speaker.
“Members are trying to talk to the President about leading as the House works it out long term,” the adviser said in an email.
Last night on Fox News' Sean Hannity show, Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan tried to avoid questions about Trump becoming an “interim” speaker by repeatedly saying he wanted him to again become president. Hannity kept pressing the point, and Jordan eventually said he wants Trump “at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue but if he wants to be speaker, that’s fine too.”

Could Trump be elected President and then simultaneously also serve as Speaker? And could he also have his Vice-President resign and appoint himself as Vice-President? That way he would be President, President of the Senate, and Speaker of the House simultaneously. And if Roberts left, he could also appoint himself Chief Justice.

In the chance Trump decides it's not in his best interest, another candidate has thrown their hat in the ring...
