Louie Gohmert running for Speaker

Sickening. He might be the biggest HP in either major party. I like to forget there are people worse than Ted Cruz.

This is not the man that you endorse just for the other party to fail.

Why doesn't Massie run instead? He actually seems like a viable candidate for Speaker.

Massie is after a Senate seat I think. Yea, Speaker of the House is nice, but it is also a longshot. Why challenge the establishment when he will need their help and backing in 6 years to take McConnell's seat assuming he retires (or in 2.5 years if Rand runs for President maybe). Kentucky is far from safe R (though a Presidential electorate may actually help) so support will be needed and not just Rand Paul's.

Voting for an alternative candidate is one thing, but being a martyr like Gohmert or as Bachmann tried to do when she attempted to infiltrate the leadership will make you a pariah.

He lost.

Awww, but he had so many (meaningless Atlas) endorsements. What a shame real leftists didn't join the cause of destroying the Republican Party.
