He can’t win in the general.

Since Texas is solidly behind Trump, he might have has some influence, but I seriously doubt it. I think the longer it dragged on objective Reps could see it was all BS and black magik.

in reference to former Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.)

************* Ryan is probably still the de facto Speaker and puppeteer of Kevin McCarthy. At this point, there doesn't seem to be any difference between them.

Trump went to bat for Paxton immediately, without hesitation and was forceful. Go find his truth immediately after this happened. Doesn’t matter, ultimately. Trump backed him, did it help him? Who cares, he was acquitted. I very much appreciate that Trump immediately called for the speaker to resign.

Doubtful he had that big an impact. The house rushed through this turd sandwich at the end of a session. By the time it got to the senate all the republicans had time to be threatened by their constituents.

I would not be surprised to see some house turnover as a result of this.

>>So, once again, Trump just latches on and claims credit for anything that might help him,

and coincidentally, every single bad thing that happened on his watch was...you guess it ‘somebody else’s’ fault’

*************

How is he all that much different from any other politician? They all jump to take credit for things they didn’t do; they claim to know everything about everything until there’s a problem that they don’t want to be associated with and then they declare complete ignorance; and they always find someone else to pin any blame on. Its the nature of the beast.

Trump is not all that unique. Just a lot more visible than most.

They did not have the evidence in the house. The whole thing was pushed through on a weekend in less than 24 hours.

Look up lt. Governor Dan Patrick’s scathing speech about it. The leaders of the house were criminal in their conduct.

Sometimes he just doesn’t need to say anything.

Trump added, “I invented gravity and I beat Joe Frazier at the Thrilla in Manila”

Trump just said, “I invented both the open-faced and closed-faced sandwiches.” Trump added that he singlehandedly raised the flag at Iwo Jima.

I agree.

“Mr. Trump needs to STFU sometimes, not everything is about him.”

Just his narcissism coming out. He sometimes thinks he has power over everything. Everyone he had contact with that was running and won was because he did it.

Saved” means he was going to lose unless Trump helped him. I don’t think so.
