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
This is the only option. Each session will get a chance to change, if needed. He’s keeping his powder dry and letting Johnson show his true allegiance early in the game.

I do not like it, but I have to agree. Hopefully Johnson is not like Paul Ryan.
We should at least avoid the MTG approach of voting out a speaker without having the votes for a replacent to his right.
It is not as if there is someone better who could win waiting in the wings.
