Now that Republican Kevin McCarthy has been ousted from his leadership position, Reps. Jim Jordan (R-OH) and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) are vying for the position. But I have decided to come up with my own list…

FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP

Although Orange Man Bad hasn’t officially thrown his hat into the ring (yet), there are “sources close to the president” who say he is willing to serve. That would be a fun choice for the entertainment value alone so we can watch the heads of Democrats explode.

Trump didn’t confirm or deny wanting the job and said on Wednesday, “A lot of people have been calling me about speaker…All I can say is we will do whatever is best for the country and other Republican Party and people.”

ACTOR/DIRECTOR CLINT EASTWOOD

I would love to hear Clint tell the Democrats to “get off my lawn” when they’re speaking their nonsense on the House floor. And he’s 93 so he fits right into the Washington DC crowd.

FLORIDA REP. BYRON DONALDS

Although there is speculation about Donalds running for governor of Florida or even being Trump’s VP pick, the leadership role in the House, even if temporary, would elevate his status. Being a Black man, the Republicans could aggressively try to push the Democrats into voting for him. The Democrats WOULDN’T vote for Donalds, of course, but we could call them all racist for not doing so.

FORMER ALASKA GOVERNOR AND VP NOMINEE SARAH PALIN

Just like Trump, this pick is purely for entertainment value and to annoy the Democrats.

FORMER SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE NANCY PELOSI

Everyone seems to be complaining about “getting things done” in the House of Representatives. I, on the other hand, don’t want much done in the House except for blocking the Democrats from doing things and investigating the Democrats. But if the folks want the House to push bills through that will get approved by the Senate, then Pelosi is your girl.

MICKEY MOUSE

Even though he’s a rodent, Mickey Mouse is pretty popular with the American people and could possibly bring everyone together to create a functional government – or at least make a National Cheese Day proclamation for the country.
