Remember my suspicion that some Republicans would like to see the former President as Speaker of the House? I missed this, ummm, announcement from Rep Ralph Norman from Thursday:
Rep. Ralph Norman, who opposes McCarthy for Speaker, says the renegade Republicans have a secret candidate to run against him who is not a House member: “It will be apparent in the coming weeks who that person will be. I will tell you, it will be interesting.” pic.twitter.com/anD60jvNky

Interesting? Only if it’s not Trump. Otherwise, drearily predictable and out of step with most of America, and he’d be terribly incompetent and unaware of it, unlike myself, who would be terribly incompetent and smart enough to not even consider accepting the position.
Suppose he is nominated for the position. Would moderate Republicans and Democrats vote for him? No. So he’d be left humiliated. Or so I think.
And, yes, the persistent stupidity of these folks does induce nausea in me.
