I know InfoWars and Mr. Stone aren't the most popular or trusted of the bunch and there are decent arguments against them.
However, Roger Stone is a LEGENDARY organizer and platform architect in Republican politics and has had RARE LEVELS of access and experience in Washington D.C. during his lifetime. The INSIGHTS and MAPPING he provides here is SECOND TO NONE.
Simply put, this is what Roger Stone knows better than almost anyone. No one else I've heard has broken it down so well and given clear, logic reasoning for both sides, which leads us to his predictions for next moves and likeliest outcomes. I was very impressed and I think you will be too!
This is the meat and potatoes breakdown. Stone covers just about everything here. Importantly he makes the note that the 'Red Wave' showing up in reality as a 'Pink Drizzle' in part due to McCarthy ignoring and spending to stifle many America First candidates has put him in this position. The Establishment cut off its nose to spite its face and THIS IS THE RESULT THEY DESERVE.
Roger Stone brilliantly elucidates all of the fantastic fuck ups that led McCarthy to where he is and shows how he is basically between a rock and a hard place. McConnell and McCarthy have ALMOST THE SAME voting record. McCarthy losing votes as the rounds continue is a death knell and his only way out would be to work a deal with the Dems; if Dems vote present and reduce the magic number from 218 down to 198, McCarthy theoretically could make it over the hurdle. BUT HE WOULD LOSE VOTES IMMEDIATELY from the Republican side, who would be pressured and shamed by their voters back home if they then cast a vote for McCarthy and colluded in such a plot with Dems. McCarthy's support is VERY WRAPPED UP in elections and campaigns so he would be unable to "sell" Republican colleagues on the idea of working with Jeffries & Dems - they would have the bottom drop out on them.
Stone says despite all this, McCarthy will continue to press and keep his name in the voting despite it being IMPOSSIBLE for him to win now. Although the best and honorable thing to do would be to step aside, Stone says that McCarthy cannot, because his 'owners' in lobbyist groups, Wall Street etc. PAID A LOT OF MONEY TO PUT HIM IN and they want RETURN ON INVESTMENT. He couldn't stop now even if he wanted to.
A look deeper into the tactics and strategy of the 20 dissenters. How they did a flawless job and could break this open and create real change that's good for America. Donalds could be the front runner soon. Lauren Boebert whooped stupid Sean Hannity's ass. Pence and media don't move the needle. Using Trump statement to attack Gaetz and others fell flat on its face. Stone correctly guesses Trump will be put forward; received confirmation from Mar-a Lago that POTUS WOULD CONSIDER SERVING.
This is wonderful stuff folks i hope you take time to check it out! I have to say i normally don't watch much AJ or Infowars but when it comes to this subject and the Demar Hamlin incident they have had good coverage and been on the money lately.
I gave a bullet point breakdown of the major stuff in a different thread if you want to read through it. Didn't want to make this one too long! Too good not to share though.
I really enjoy Gaetz and have for a while now - very excited to see him catch the limelight for a moment right now! We NEED people like him to become our future leaders, once we cull all the McCarthy types.
Godspeed all!
Curious - either you or Roger Stone (above in your 7th pp) said that McCarthy is striking signed deals with Dems for their vote but this would result in loss of R votes - How would R's even know what backroom deals are made in this situation? How do D's even enforce a contract such as this? (If McCarthy wishes to renege after he gets votes, what is the 'penalty'? Can't unelect him at that point.)
Sorry, I was worried I didn't explain this well. What Stone was basically saying (and I'll have to go back and listen again but I believe it's in the first clip actually, the long 29 minute one) was that McCarthy could work a deal with Dems where they vote present instead of casting it for Hakeem Jeffries (which would lower the 218 total he needs down by 1 for each present vote) and that would be a way to get him over the threshold.
I think the R's find out via regular gossip and turmoil in the pro forma session, but at latest they find out when the vote actually starts! So they either stick with the plan to vote McCarthy or go to Option B quickly.
There would be political blowback and fallout for those in the McCarthy camp from their voters if they continued to support him and the Dems pulled their weight to lower the number and get him in. It would be UNIPARTY right out in public after all. Working with the people who have screwed us the past two years.
Keep in mind he hasn't done this and likely can't just due to the political pressures. If they do it would be interesting to watch the MSM make excuses for him - all of a sudden CNN and MSNBC are treating McCarthy with favorable views even now.
But I think the point Stone was making was that if he did it would be political suicide, kinda.
Contract enforcement? That's the other side of this. Dems would likely request committee appointments rules adjustments etc. and have some part of things implemented before McCarthy gets voted on - same as the dissenters are doing with him now. There is no way to force him one way or the other after which is the same problem the dissenters have.
So it's likely that whatever the Dems would request of him would be so egregious it wouldn't be feasible for him to give them their demands. They would probably want investigations shut down or to intentionally screw them up - Paul Ryan and Benghazi have been mentioned recently. Controlled opposition, sabotage of your own party. Nothing new for McCarthy but too out in the open to not cause major problems for him. He might as well capitulate to the 20 Republicans instead.
So in essence he's kind of damned if you do damned if you don't.
