There is zero chance of electing a MAGA Speaker with the tiny edge Republicans have and the high number of RINOs still in the House. Don Jr. and MTG are being realists, not endorsing McCarthy's RINO-ism. There is a good chance, however, that MAGA Reps will be able to exert influence over McCarthy's decision-making - as the narrow majority will require him to keep them on board.

2024 might be a different story. Take the minor win now, and work for a bigger one.

Listen very closely to what the 5 PUBLIC holdouts are saying. This isn’t necessarily about waiting for a polarizing MAGA GOP personality that the Republicans won’t agree on. It might be more about a floor fight about the fact that McCarthy can’t reach 218 and a compromise candidate that they ALL agree may step up in the end.

That's the best response I've seen on here yet ....

Trump has to go to war with the Troops he has..... Not the ones he wants...2 years is a long ways off....He'll be critiquing their performance from the sidelines...
