Trump’s support of a bonafide RINO is a mistake.
Don siding with his father in supporting a RINO is also a mistake.

“ Trump’s support of a bonafide RINO is a mistake.

That is particularly true, because, as I understand it, the opposition to McCarthy is coming from further to the right of McCarthy, not to his left. In other words, the two trumps appear to not want a MAGA speaker. Either that, or they don’t think it possible and want to avoid a fight that will tear apart the party.

The way that the Congress game is played is that there are only two teams,, virtually. And once there in the tug of war that is the grind of the day, ultimately one has to decide Which side you are pulling for.

The pushing has to happen in elections.

Agree. McCarthy is another Paul Ryan.

I agree. But the problem is that there are only five votes against McCarthy, partially because Trump supported McCarthy and this stopped the dump McCarthy movement dead in its tracks.

Without those 5 votes, the GOP can’t even get McCarthy in and the next speaker may be a Dem or Liz Cheney.

I tell people here all the time that it’s a numbers game, and when they are being too pure to vote GOP - say, if their candidate, who is the one they should have worked for, has lost in the primary to an establishment hack - they are shooting themseleves in the foot.

Unless we have the numbers, we have nothing and no room for error.

A far bigger and absolutely unforgivable mistake would be if Republican bickering allowed Democrats to decide the next House speaker. I think McCarthy is weak - but none of his GOP opponents can present a viable alternative and if we end up with some Democrat-backed "moderate", we've thrown away even the small victory of a slender House majority.

Another terrible endorsement by PDJT. Ditto for his endorsement of Ronna.

To cut to the chase:

You believe Donald Trump has made a mistake by supporting Rep. McCarthy for Speaker?
