Steve Scalise is tossing his hat in the ring for Speaker of the House.

Scalise is probably best known for being the guy shot by the Democrat at the practice for the Congressional baseball game a number of years back. But he's well known and well liked. I think the chances are good he'll get it.

Don't get your hopes up; Scalise is another milksop. But he may be better, or at least more trustworthy, than McCarthy.

In other Speakeer news there are Republicans calling to make Donald Trump the Speaker.

You don't have to be a member of the House to be Speaker. You just wouldn't be able to vote.

I think that there ought to be a move to draft Newt Gingrich for another  go-round.

At any rate this is going to be a wild ride. Buckle up!
