Johnson may be a good man but has he done everything in his power to promote the MAGA agenda? It appears he's giving the democrats everything they want, which explains why the Dems bail him out. Johnson has done nothing to promote closing the border or deporting illegal aliens. Johnson has supported legislation forwarding billions to the money-laundering scheme called Ukraine. Johnson has done nothing to defund and dismantle the administrative state. Johnson has done nothing to curb our national debt, i.e., out of control govt spending. Johnson has done nothing to stop voter fraud.
IF Johnson or any republican speaker were truly interested in addressing MAGA concerns, they would need to shut down the government via not passing any bills to authorize or reauthorize spending and only bring MAGA bills to the floor.
The problem we have is that very few House members are MAGA. Unfortunately, the House makeup will not elect and support a MAGA Speaker. The result is that we get establishment big-donor bought Speakers, which is how I'd characterize Johnson and McCarthy before him.
Johnson pretty much saw to it that the disastrous Senate bill that addressed (yeah, right) border security did not advance. Put to a fair vote, it would have narrowly passed the House.
IMO, since Biden will not execute it as intended anyway, I don’t think even a “MAGA” border bill is anything but a negative until soon after Trump is back in office. All such a bill would do now, assuming it somehow passes the Senate and is signed, is diminish the border as an issue in some voters’ minds.
