Was there somebody else you recommended for Speaker who you were sure would never do or say anything that you would disagree with or be disappointed in for some things? I find it hard to believe that person exists, but lay it on me.

Difficult to choose a politician for that position when the trust level just isn't there.

But generally, it's not so much what one says that someone, somewhere doesn't agree with. That will always happen among people.

It's the subject matter and how it's couched, and what is the true intent behind it that reveals their true character, than would addressing something else less controversial and more innocuous in the grand scheme.

It's this particular instance that he would have been better served just saying nothing about. Which would've kept the blind faith in him by some of you ongoing and hopeful.

He couldn't have possibly not known that this observation by him would inflame an already bad situation.

So what exactly does that tell you about his level of arrogance, and how he views many of his fellow Repubs.

It could also have been a thinly veiled, left-handed swipe at Trump, without actually doing it blatantly, against the guy who backed him for the position. It's not like that hasn't happened before.

Another poor choice by Trump.

As for any others preferred for the job, some better ones just didn't want it. So why go through the list.

So we're saddled with this guy.

But then what exactly is new with the Repubs.
