….. and so, if we trust GEOTUS, we cannot take support for McCarthy as a slight to MAGA.
MAGA ACTUAL literally is putting his support behind KM. I don’t respect KM but I do still believe GEOTUS is executing a plan. I believe this plan includes the 20 holdouts and the rest who are not. Maybe he needs MAGA on both sides of this issue. We simply don’t know yet.
While it is good to hold people accountable to their actions, let’s be careful not to cast stones before the full picture is seen.
Trump has three realistic options: endorse McCarthy, endorse someone else, or do nothing. The latter two options does nothing to stop McCarthy from getting the chair. Trump saying nothing means that the RINOs will pile behind McCarthy and maybe convince some Demonic Rats to push him into the seat. Trump endorsing MAGA while condemning McCarthy means that the TDS and Never-Trumpers will rally behind McCarthy harder to spit in Trump's face.
By endorsing McCarthy, it puts the never-Trump RINOs and Demonic Rats in a bind in that they can't vote for their chosen RINO without making them appear to agree with Trump, with is act of betrayal to their bases that will cost them everything in the long run, especially with years of TDS built up to this point. The MAGA caucus will not vote for McCarthy, leaving him a few votes short of gaining office. McCarthy can either court Demonic Rats and really get tarred and feathered, or get in line with the MAGA caucus and betray the RINOs...
Trump knows that the TDS is so strong, that he can weaponize it to his advantage, and weaponize it he did.
As for MTG, whose name also conjure rabid hate from the Demonic Rats, I think she is following the same strategy as Trump. I wouldn't be surprised if she's with Trump on this plan.
