Politically it makes sense, Trump doesn’t need the republicans eating themselves alive before he even gets in office and this does give Trump some political capital over Johnson
All choices are relative to the next-best alternative.
This sounds like some Freepers could have personally written this.
Mike Johnson is at best a compromise RINO squish, IMO. I assume Trump’s “embrace” of him is simply a recognition of a reality by Trump, that it given the outlines of conservatism in the house, it isn’t realistic to expect a MAGA speaker.
Probably decided a fight was not going to be productive.
Pragmatism. Doesn’t there need to be a speaker in place Jan 6 to certify the election results?
It’s politically expedient until Trump is firmly in office and then I hope Johnson gets the boot.
I hope Johnson got a set of balls and a spine for Christmas.
shrugs. could see that coming a mile away. Trump gonna keep on Trumpin.
