Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) Tweeted:
I can get Nancy Pelosi as many votes as she wants in order for her to be Speaker of the House. She deserves this victory, she has earned it - but there are those in her party who are trying to take it away. She will win! @TomReedCongress

(81,238 posts)the easier itll be to get a critical mass of us to turn against her. Simply because we loathe and distrust him. Hes trying to sow doubt. And discord. Remember: trump is The Great Divider.

I have faith that few Dems would take it seriously, but it is not the only questionable effort to do so.

It's sad that in one of the few times in his rotten life that he's right, it's only an attempt to sow discord among his opponents.

(7,627 posts)There is a caucus vote which only requires simple majority within the party. Pelosi has that.
Then, it's on the floor of the house where she needs 218.
Republicans could vote for Pelosi instead of their candidate. Obviously Trump is talking nonsense . In practice I find it hard to believe any GOP would vote for Pelosi...

(9,874 posts)Then he can demonize her and replace Hillary with an updated "enemy" for his base to hate. I don't think he appreciates that she will be a much more formidable opponent than he imagines.

(1,580 posts)He is trying to sow discord by making Dems go against her because they hate HIM and he is appearing to support her.
Typical Trump lies and tricks.
He is a game-playing teenager. Turn him off.

(19,060 posts)He thinks hes clever, but hes not. Hes pulling some double revserse psychology BS.
He wants people to think he wants her to win because he wants to run against her, but in reality he wants her to lose because he doesnt want to run against Dems with her as the Speaker. Hes transparent and an idiot.
