Bannon spoke the quiet part out loud today
WHY NOT TRUMP?
He said let's get Trump in as Speaker. Think maybe that was the plan all along? It's what Killary and Co. feared the most. Maybe Trump supported McCarthy knowing he didn't have the votes to be speaker and took advantage of the optics. Would Trump have the votes? If not, he'd sure see who was truly against him in 2024. Imagine if Trump was Speaker and quarterbacked his core MAGA to investigate Biden and Kamala. Enough would be uncovered rather quickly that they would have to step aside and Trump steps into the WH as third in line to Presidency.
All this might sound far fetched but after the last 2 years, nothing would surprise me.
Really, the major portion of 'republican' representation is composed of nevertruper deepstate agents who will never vote him in as speaker. McCrappy is shy what, like six votes? Shit, McCrappy even has Trump himself in his corner. The right is slipping into the same blind acceptance as the left, bouncing from pipe dream to pipedream, chasing perpetually moving goalposts on an infinite field. Sad part is at least the left gets to claim they were lied to, we take care of that part ourselves.
