Presidential candidate and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) floated his pick for the next House speaker while campaigning in Sioux City, Iowa: Mark Levin, the conservative talk radio host who worked for the Reagan White House.
“I think the next speaker should be Mark Levin,” Cruz said at a rally Western Iowa Community College on Monday, according to a report by Iowa newspaper Quad-City Times.
The House speaker race is in disarray after House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) dropped out of the race on Thursday. Rep. Daniel Webster (R-FL) and Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) are still in the running as more Republicans are voicing support for Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), the high-profile chairman of the Ways and Means Committee. Ryan has repeatedly said he doesn’t want the position.
Levin said Tuesday doesn’t want the position either.
Thank you, Ted, but I’ll have to pass http://t.co/FoD61MFAMl

OK then Cruz… how about LIMBAUGH for Speaker?
I mean so we can all see how really screwed up the GOP is.
Unclear whether this is another of Ted’s always-sidesplitting “jokes,” but do these guys not realize that when they propose that someone not in Congress be made Speaker, it’s really disparaging to their own side?

Only if they keep the helium balloons away from him.
All Cruz’ minions think is that it’s “Anti-guvmint, anti-black man in the White House, and anti-Democrat”.
