MSM heads were predicting the twenty to dwindle this round
understandable
If Trump was legitimately nominated, it would be 202 against and 20 for. The majority of the republicans in the house and senate hate Trump
He raised money for McConnel, Romney, Brian Kemp, Kelly Loeffler, and a giant list of republicans who all hate his fucking guts. They all say they love him to the rubes when election time comes. But once in power and they have to prove they stand with him, they are all so quick to throw him under the bus

So far no dissenter has changed to McCarthy
MSM was saying a deal had been made last round. Not to win him the speakership but to diminish the 20. So far the deal has not come to fruition. Leading the anti-McCarthy side of the negotiations is Donalds (which is why he is never there when his name is called). We'll see if he comes back at the end and says McCarthy, but as his constituency has not changed, I doubt he will change
>So what has to happen?
McCarthy has to throw in the towel
Then the conference can get together to begin REAL discussions on who they can all agree on. As long as McCarthy refuses to quit, it continues
Donalds is never on the floor he's in discussions with team McCarthy. He always comes in at the end to vote
The RINOs and Democrats would never allow Trump to be the speaker. If it looked like Trump would even get 100 votes, the uniparty would vote 434 for McCarthy so fast it would make your head spin
Yeah, that'd be moar likely
ANd they wouldn't role call vote either.
It'd be by voice vote and before people even A sound out of "Aye" the gavel would slam and the clerk would be like, "the Ayes have it, session closed! p.s. FUCK TRUMP" to raucus cheers and clapping
Gaetz telling Jeffries and the Dems to not adjourn or help McCarthy in anywya
I'm just guessing at the cp0ntext of the conversation per the picture.
