Shows how damaged Trump is by the midterm election results by the fact that he doesn’t have the influence anymore to get the man he wants to be Speaker, McCarthy, the votes he needs.
The DC Swamp GOPe has nothing to do with Trump’s base.
They are in two different universes.
Interesting observation. On the other hand it may just be that KM is so pathetically weak (he’s a real life Nowhere Man) that even Trump cannot carry him across the finish line.
The GOP is a party of real losers. McCarthy is just the most obvious one at the moment.
