We have the results of our poll, and they are this. It is not a compelling point of interest. However, among those who did check in and voiced their preference, Donald Trump had a slight lead over Jim Jordan (whom Trump endorsed).
Trump corraled 44.83% of the vote, followed by Jordan with 34.48%. Fewer than 30 readers cast a vote.

Shortly after Kevin McCarthy had to hand over the gavel, Troy Nehls, a Republican from Texas, nominated Donald Trump as Speaker of the US House of Representatives. I didn’t think Trump would want the job or could get it.
But Trump teased us with the prospect before he endorsed Jim Jordan for the job. I’m sure it was all in good fun, by which I mean something to make the Libs snap like twigs for the next 24-48 hours while the Demedia ranted about the prospect.
I’m not sure any of that happened, but no matter what you think about The Donald, he knows how to tweak the producers at MSNC and CNN. I can see him looking at his phone, turning to whoever happens to be in the room, an almost child-like joy in his eyes, as he says, “Watch this.”
I’m not advocating Trump for Speaker, and he’s not asking anyone to make him Speaker. He’s got eyes for another trip around the Oval Office. But we’re not afraid to present a position for debate to see what shakes out. It doesn’t have to be ours; it just has to be and be honest. Trump as Speaker would be so much fun to watch.
I’ve included announced and potential names for the gig. Not all of them will run, but for whom would you vote if they did? Feel free to elaborate in the comments, including adding your suggestions below.
The Poll ends Sunday at midnight.
