John Boehner’s former press secretary just threw it out there on CNN.

[Ass Dan]

Also there’s a good chance that that’s the reason this whole thing happened:

Hungry kids are the wrong type of American.

The fact that they even entertained it just to have the option immediately slapped out of their hands is honestly even funnier to me lol.

Trump doesn’t support losers who eat school lunches. Trump doesn’t even eat breakfast, can you believe it? That’s how much of a real American man he is. What a guy, what a guy.

I wouldn't say this puts a hard stop on the idea.
The prospect of them breaking their own rule to make him speaker makes it even more hilarious.

Bc people love pettiness and the ability to feel agrieved or emboldened by it.

Walker and his co-authors, Alan Tapp and Adrian Davies, developed five statements about driving behavior and risk, then developed a parallel set of statements in which a few words were changed to take cars out of the picture; for example, “There is no point expecting people to drive less, so society just needs to accept any negative consequences it causes” became “There is no point expecting people to drink alcohol less, so society just needs to accept any negative consequences it causes.” They then presented one set of the statements to more than 2,000 adults in the UK and asked them to rank their level of agreement with each; 1,053 randomly selected individuals received the car-based statements, while 1,104 got the non-car version.

When the survey results were calculated, they clearly showed that respondents were much more willing to overlook problems from cars than from other sources. In one case, just 4% of respondents strongly agreed with the statement “People shouldn’t drive in highly populated areas where other people have to breathe the car fumes,” while 48% strongly agreed with its nonautomotive analog, “People shouldn’t smoke in highly populated areas where people have to breathe the cigarette fumes.”

As someone who is strongly in favor of making America more pedestrian, bike, public transportation friendly, this sort of "gotcha" article, and creating a false equivalency between cars and guns/cigarettes/alcohol, isn't going to win anyone over or change anyone's mind.
