“You are wise to remind us to not count our chickens on this before they actually hatch.”
On War Room today, Frank Gaffney said exactly what I did. He doesn’t trust KM to keep any of his agreements.
As you probably know, War Room is my go-to show, and has been since it came out. I've watched Mike Davis, John Fredricks, and others predict this same backstab on the actual rules vote from McCarthy in the last 24 hours.
However, they are not always right on there. Fredricks and Davis have been on there most every day saying they were certain that McCarthy would have to bow out, for example.
And I may be wrong about the rules vote, but I have been predicting McCarthy would ultimately be elected the Speaker, all this while. My only concern was whether he would partner with the hardline Republicans for his final votes, or the Democrats.
Thankfully he chose wisely. But, he was wounded quite a bit by this. He won't be charging out the starting gate, so to speak. He will sort of be crawling out on his two knees.
Their goal, as Trump has been suggesting as the main reason to explain his support of McCarthy, should now be for them to appear unified. To pick McCarthy up from his knees, where he can at least limp out the starting gate, instead of falling back on his face.
But, we will see. The folks on War Room are professional prognosticators, and typically correct. I think you are wise to listen to their counsel as you do, as do I, and probably why we most often agree on things. But in this case, I am at least HOPING they are wrong LOL. Have a great day.
