Why would it be sad for me, I've been criticizing McCarthy, and Trump's support for him, since day one. This is just another example of Trump's horrible personnel choices, by forcing McCarthy on us all along, more than anything. Right in the middle of Gaetz forcing the motion to vacate, Trump was out there tweeting on his site why can't we all just get along!
The choice of Jordan is a no brainer, at this point, so Trump gets no credit for that, but Trump mouthpiece Stave Bannon was on his show this morning attacking Jordan left and right. That's probably how team Trump actually feels. Jordan isn't nearly in lockstep with Trump as McCarthy was, which is why Trump has always wanted McCarthy, instead.
It’s sad for you because you know this is a great win for Trump and you don’t like Trump winning.
Trump supporters are enjoying this so much and that makes you sad too - so you look for an anti-Trump angle “Trump supported McCarthy”.
So what - I voted for McCain and Romney. We often have to support the lesser of two evils - that’s politics - it’s the rational thing to do.
I’m sorry your side isn’t having a good day - go home and have a glass of wine and watch an uplifting movie or something to get your mind off the fact that Trump scored more points this week.
