My take: Trump has dirt on McCarthy (strong possibility, no?) and his endorsement is meant to be used as leverage to get MAGA committee chairs in because THAT is where the power is if the Speaker is just Trump's puppet.
I just read that Miss Piggy says McCarthy is compromised. PDJT strongly endorses him and Miss Piggy comes out against him adds weight to my theory.
Alternate theory: Trump endorses McCarthy - Freedom Caucus stands firm, Trump gets nomination and can claim plausible deniability. i.e. "I never wanted the position. I even endorsed McCarthy but the Republican Caucus has spoken so I'll except the position."
IMHO Trump will not ACCEPT being House speaker; he's president of the United States. He's already shot down this goofy stunt, which would be seen by nearly all voters as a tricky end-run around getting elected. It would be spun as Trump being desperate and terrified of not being able to win an election, so he's resorting to underhanded trickery.
I agree. I also think there are far too many Rinos to get 218 votes for Trump. It would be an embarrassing loss and Trump avoids these types of losses at all costs.
This is the only thing that makes sense. That speech Jordan gave was a stab at Mcarthy. He knows Kevin voted Yes on the omnibus deal. So, why would he word that speech the way he did if it wasn’t a stab or a gut check to kev? Are they gonna give it to mcarthy but let him know they are in control? Because kev has and always will vote with the Dems yet Jordan sarcastically praised him for doing the very thing he said must never happen again. Something is up in DC!
Trump would have less votes than McCarthy, dont kid yourself
This would put every Republican on notice and they would have no choice but to give trump their vote. Why? They will need his endorsement in the next election cycle. Catch 22. Checkmate
