>> you rational makes no sense aside from being inaccurate. <<

The only one who was proven to be inaccurate is you. You insisted Trump didn't endorse McCarthy for Speaker until "this morning", when in fact he's been backing McCarthy for Speaker since after the Republicans won control of Congress in November.

I find it bizarre why you feel the need to dig your heels in AFTER being PROVEN wrong.

>> “swayed a handful of Rep votes” AFTER the first couple of voting rounds on Tuesday. <<

What the heck are you talking about? The number of Republicans who supported McCarthy during the first ballot for Speaker was 203. The number by the sixth ballot was 201. The numbers who are for/against him during the whole Speaker election hasn't budged much the last few days, aside from 1 or 2 congressman changing their vote to "present"

The numbers were swayed between the vote House Republican Leader months ago, and the vote for Speaker in Jan. Again, that was BECAUSE Trump ENDORSED McCarthy for Speaker IN NOVEMBER. 33 Republicans opposed McCarthy for Republican Leader. ONLY 20 opposed him for Speaker.

Not sure why you've having a hard time understanding this concept.

A specious assertion.
