Optics.
Perhaps it is the plan to make DJT speaker of the house. The optics would not be as good if 45 opposed McCarthy because he wanted to be speaker of the house.
Now Trump can get a nomination without that fight against McCarthy.
After all, McCarthy is the first failed speaker vote in 100 years. We all know Trump's world consists of Longshots.
It was a psyop! This whole thing is. To expose the enemy and get the public to see! This was all planned. Jordan was Trumps contingency that was expected to be played. It’s chess. Look here not there. “Something you haven’t seen before, I can tell you that!” Donald J Trump.
