I predict that you will be voting for Trump in Nov. ‘24.
Get used to the idea.
Where else are you going to go?

As the Kevin McCarthy drama dragged on, commentators began trumpeting the death of former President Donald Trump’s power and influence in the GOP. Then today, it became known that Trump actually brokered the deal between the GOP rebels and Rep. McCarthy’s allies that make the Californian’s election as speaker possible.
“Trump’s spell over GOP breaks with McCarthy meltdown,” claimed Politico three days ago.
“Trump’s inability to lift Kevin McCarthy in speaker race leaves media asking ‘what power does he really have?'” asked Fox News just two days ago.
“House speaker election: fight over Kevin McCarthy’s leadership has exposed limits of Trump’s power,” chirped the academic site The Conversation.
Trump’s influence has waned in some parts of the country and grown in others. I tire of pointing out this simple fact of politics. Where Trump is well thought of, he still has tremendous influence. Where he’s not as well thought of, he has little influence. To make a blanket statement that the Trump “spell” is broken over the entire party is just ignorant.
Trump has good reasons to back McCarthy, loyalty being one of them.

Exactly!
The ART of the DEAL !
Trump is a genious.
He is not a fanatic, he knows that “compromise” is the key for absolutely everything in life. That’s what I truly appreciate about Trump.
So this article is designed to convince me to believe that Trump was actually involved in the negotiations between Gaetz and McCarthy, with regard to specific items like the separate appropriations bills?
Sorry, I'm not buying it.
I'm not denying that Trump played a part in McCarthy being elected, by endorsing him multiple times, and calling people trying to convince them to vote for McCarthy, but that's nothing I'm particularly happy about.
Did they delete your post or your whole account?
I haven’t checked to see if I was deleted yet.
The 20 holdouts won. McCarthy had to give tehm practically everything they wanted.
Now, if we can just hold him to it. He’s a RINO through and through.
The rules vote will be the test.

Holographic intergalactic chess?
I thought it was a free speech forum?
🙄
Agree
I haven’t even considered another option on the ticket. His goose will be cooked in 24 vis a vis a highjacked electoral process. NOTHING has been remedies to assure we will ever have just elections since the 2020 fraud. (See Arizona “elections” recently). The horse is out of the barn. Make an alternate plan.
Tell that the the FR army of election fraud deniers...
