The GOP better change or it’ll be dead in the water just like it was before the Trump era. It would have been a much better convention without Johnson as well.

Johnson stepped into the Speakership mid-Congress and had to clean up a lot of what McCarthy left behind.

I'm withholding judgement on Johnson until he gets his own full Congress to manage.

There are still a lot of rank and file RINOs still in Congress that need to be weeded out, but the RINO leadership seems to have lost much of its hold over the Republican party. Most of the rank and file RINOs will probably/hopefully go along with the MAGA agenda if for no other reason than because it’s politically smart. The McCarthys and the McConnells are no longer breathing down their necks and twisting their arms. Mike Johnson, for all his fecklessness, does not have the same hold over the Republican House caucus that McCarthy had.
