The problem I'm seeing is MAGA is taking a premature victory lap. McCarthy is a 14 year member of the swamp with few real achievements. He has nothing in his past that rises to the level of a conservative constitutional leader that has shown the ability to achieve anything of major consequence. He caved to get the gavel not because he wants to lead MAGA to victory but because he craved the power. Now that he has it, I predict he will slow the process down to satisfy the donor class while giving lip service to the rest of us.

Lauren Boebert will soon find out that what she thought she was getting will not materialize in any meaningful way. Remember, it's not what people say, but what they do. This is especially true with politicians who are power hungry. MAGA patriots should be very skeptical of these supposed changes. If they think they have McCarthy by the short hairs they are very mistaken. Unless and until MAGA has the majority of votes, McCarthy will never give up power. He will spread money around the establishment GOP and RINOS to secure his position. My gut tells me he'll hang MAGA out to dry over time. The patriots need to keep Boebert's comments where they can see them and be reminded daily. They they should check them off when they are satisfied McCarthy has lived up to the expectations. I think very few will check them off.

I keep seeing comments about Trump playing a grand 5D chess game which he very well might be BUT I also know that he endorsed Pence and what happened? He endorsed McConnell and what happened? He endorsed McCarthy and I'm starting to think the definition of insanity could also be happening. Doing the same thing over and over but expecting a different result. I hope to God I'm wrong but I think we need to stop the wishful thinking regarding McCarthy and start viewing his deeds, not listen to his words. Save the victory lap until something of substance is accomplished not simply talked about.
