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.
As of 20 minutes ago, Matt Gaetz nominated Donald Trump for Speaker!!
If Trump is actually nominated this would pull back the curtain on DC's Oz Bigly. Here's why.
It has become clear McCarthy doesn't have the votes. Everyone voting for McCarthy will eventually have to choose someone else. If it's Trump, Every Single Congressman and Congresswoman will have to vote and their political lives will depend on it.
If they vote against Trump, they will get the J6 treatment. Trump was nearly 100% in wiping them out.
Trump's endorsement record in 2022 was maybe 87% can't remember exactly. If that percentage holds true, there could be a massive Wipeout of the uniparty, RINO, members of the RNC. They could be absolutely annihilated. A political nuke bomb.

If that were the plan why didn't the group of 20 vote trump the first time? Why wait until the 7th vote?
To demonstrate what a weakling McCarthy is and embarrass him over and over. Maybe it will go to 17 votes, and then they'll switch gears?
I doubt it. I think it's inevitable McCarthy gets the votes eventually. Maybe not today but eventually.
