Trump in 2022
2021-06-08
[Townhall] May 30 - Wayne Allen Root
Trump appeared to be fascinated by my idea. He'd clearly never heard it before.

I want Trump to run for a House seat in 2022. Pick a winnable Republican district in Florida - where the president is beloved. I promise 74 million-plus Trump voters will get excited. They will volunteer, donate, spread the word and, yes, many will move to your district in Florida to help elect you, Mr. President.

This isn't about one House seat. With Trump campaigning and leading the battle, Republicans will sweep to victory in 2022 with the biggest GOP voter turnout in history. We will win a GOP House landslide by 40 to 60 seats -- just like in 2010 and 2014.

Now, to the important part of my plan. The GOP Congress then elects Trump as speaker of the House - the second most powerful job in America. From that platform, Trump rules Washington, D.C., for the next two years. He is President Joe Biden's worst nightmare.

Speaker of the House Trump can open a dozen criminal investigations against Biden. He can lead the impeachment of Biden (how ironic would that be?). He can block every single Biden bill. He will stop the Biden agenda dead in its tracks.
It's be enough for me to stop the agenda.
And don't forget, Speaker of the House Trump can sit behind Biden for each State of the Union address. I can't wait to watch that.

I told Trump he will become an American folk hero. His legend will grow even bigger. His brand and actions will dominate Washington politics leading into 2024. From that platform, folk hero Trump wins the presidency again in 2024 - after first saving America from the Biden disaster.

Trump was clearly fascinated by the idea. He should be. It's a game-changer for Trump, for the GOP and for America.

#7  i'd love to see him up there with the gavel that he wrenched from Pelosi's claws.

maybe have it gold plated

the one flaw in this plan is relying on the GOP to elect him speaker.

#5  But he should beware of looking as if this is just a stepping stone to another Presidential run in 2024.

Remember Richard Nixon's disastrous run for governor in California in 1962 and the hay that Pat Brown made of accusing him of using California as a stepping stone.

#4  I'm on the fence with this idea. On one hand he is old and going for Congress leaves him lots of options of when he feels he no longer wants to serve. On the other hand if he wins President for another term his VP is in a really good place to grab 2 more terms if he gets the right guy.

I'd vote for him for any political office, where he can stop or ham string the DC BS.

But if he ran for the WH again?
What VP names would any of y'all suggest?

#1  Trump says he is considering DUMPING Pence for Ron DeSantis in 2024, calls bitcoin a 'scam' and rages at Mark Zuckerberg for his two-year ban after 'telling me I was number one at dinner'
