McCarthy unsure whether Trump is ‘strongest’ Republican in 2024 race
New York Post ^ | June 27, 2023 | Ryan Kink

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) expressed doubt Tuesday about whether Donald Trump is the best bet for the GOP to regain the White House next year.

“Can he win that election? Yeah he can,” McCarthy told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” morning show. “The question is, is he the strongest to win the election? I don’t know that answer.”

Oops, Trump's pick for House Speaker doubts Trump is strongest candidate for 2024. I guess loyalty only goes so far. How soon until Trump freaks out and same with supporters here on FR?

Would McCarthy and Luntz prefer Romney...or maybe Christie?

If that happens, I’ll climb into a hot tub, and open a vein.

It’s an honest answer and a true one.

Look back through history, and I bet that speakers and majority leaders rarely, if ever, endorse a presidential candidate who isn’t an incumbent this far ahead of the convention.

Maybe Trump promoted him for reasons other than reciprocal endorsement

My bet is Trump doesn’t respond/doesn’t care/expected this.

McCarthy is correct. Trump isn’t a Republican. He’s the extra-special case of RINO. He’s a national populist and there are only about two dozen Republicans of this type between both chambers of Congress.

Trump may not be the strongest candidate that republicans have ever run, however McCarthy is one the WORST Speakers in the recent century and fits right in Boehner, Lyin’ Ryan, and Hastert.

McCarthy is the poster boy for the do-nothing republicans, the GOPe may not even win next fall, can’t say they didn’t earn though.

The actions of McCarthy say way more about the GOP and McCarthy then they do about Trump.

You don't think Trump and others are allowed to respond to McCarthy? And if they do, it's called a "freak out"?

Ah, recall Trump endorsed him. So, answer this. If all of these people Trump endorsed are good picks, not bad picks, then what does Trump do to cause them to almost universally turn on him?

Depends on how they respond. Trump has a habit of calling them names and more. On FR people often have even worse habits when faced with inconvenient information. Freak out is right when it is not reasoned discussion, calm, and rational.

What does being inside the beltway do to people's brains? Maybe a kind of implosion happens similar to the Titanic sub.

Milquetoast McCarthy is a noodle-spined disgrace.

Now is the time to get tough and stay strong. Trump 2024!

...and millions of American people across our great country.

BTW, what are you?
