It's not about being a shill. Dude had his chance to do it right and failed. Trump should have known and read the room that at some point this would happen. This nicely insulates him from what comes next, at least.
If it's not part of the plan it was predictable enough that it should have been.
If removing him was the right move, then I think more than four Republicans would have done it. It seems shillish to be cheering for the take down of a high powered Republican leader by Democrats.
By the numbers it was the right call based off public information. Perhaps there was stuff behind the scenes that we don't know, but Gaetz was awfully chipper and cheaky when he said Trump supported him.
