That’s a shame.

Trump, run or not, win or not, is a short-term factor. He is not going to make any change which cannot be undone.

You could do more good staying in the process and promoting America 1st type candidates.

Pray about it and do what you think best for the nation.

I would only help the party if the party helped itself, and started listening to its constituents. They've shown their disdain for America First candidates. That isn't going to change anytime soon. The leadership is arrogant, and thinks we're too stupid to know what we want. They're as bad as the Democrats who think they know what's good for us.

“They’ve shown their disdain for America First candidates.”

I agree.

Give to and support candidates, not the party.

Of course not. That requires a set of balls and courage. No one in the Stupid Party ever had courage. Right now the Stupid Party is making sure none of the Rats are mad at them.

MM or swirl?

LOL.

Interesting that RPOTUS Trump also supports McCarthy-Luntz. And, now, MTG.

The guy nauseates me, honestly. I’ve met him...on a few occasions. (McCarthyLuntz)..and, am NOT impressed.

ya, guess who made her the offer she couldn't refuse?

To say 'No', she'd have to believe he'd be defeated.

Just one problem with that theory. Trump endorsed McCarthy for Speaker before the election, when everyone still expected the GOP to have a huge majority in the House. You can't explain Trump's endorsement as "reading tea leaves".

No matter the size of the R majority, the theory still holds. Split the R vote and D's vote in Pelosi. Science.

Prior War Room episodes are online.

Yesterday in the 5-6 pm hour (War Room Pandemic), MTG was adamant in her support for McCarthy. I have to admit, it sounded “off” to me; why would she take that position?

Then in the 6-7 pm hour (War Room Battlefield), Gaetz was equally adamant about getting rid of McCarthy.

And you’re right: Trump in favor of McCarthy is quite disturbing. What’s up with that?! Sometimes he makes me wonder. And I don’t think it’s 4D chess.

That is not correct. You need 218 votes to become speaker. Pelosi will not get 218 votes. She would need 100% of Ds and a few Rs to vote for her.

What could happen is the Ds could whip all of the Ds to vote for Liz Cheney or another never Trumper and a few of the Rs might also vote for them.

"NOT" is a very strong word here.

You seem to think a scenario where all Democrats would vote for Liz Cheney is more likely than a scenario where a few Republicans would vote for Nancy Pelosi. I wouldn't be so sure of that.

See Post #3. There's nothing nefarious going on here. Either Kevin McCarthy will be the House Speaker, or it will be someone picked by the Democrats.

And that bloviating buffoon Matt Gaetz will either vote for McCarthy, or -- if his vote isn't needed in a close race -- he'll abstain from voting.

There isn’t, or wasn’t, a moment in time when nothing nefarious was going on in DC.

Well, OK. LOL. I should say that there's nothing more nefarious than usual going on.

It's a leadership vote in a major political party. MTG would have been singing a different tune if the Republicans had a 30-seat margin over the Democrats. They don't.
