I know what we all think of that doofus but Trump must have a good reason for supporting him, and I trust Trump more than any other politician.

Agree.

My theory: Trump endorsed McCarthy because McCarthy is weak beyond belief & will now owe his power to Trump, who operates 100% based on leverage. Second-term President Trump will therefore basically own the (probable) GOP Speaker.

I wouldn't be surprised if Trump & McCarthy made a deal to this effect.

Ask yourself how much more first-term President Trump could have accomplished if he had similarly held Paul Ryan's onions in a vise 2017-19.

Most of the other replies I don't get. This one I do.

agree - Ryan was the worst POS ever- Trump could have done SO MUCH MORE if Rino Ryan hadn’t actually stopped him.

I blame Paul Ryno for almost everything that has happened since. They ran on repealing Obamacare, and when they didn’t deliver that disillusioned a ton of supporters, which make Pelosi speaker again .

I disagree. He will always be a loyal disciple of Paul Ryan.

I like your theory. Hopefully it will be proved true and Trump’s influence will be seen IF we win back the House & Senate.
