not shut down the government when trump and maga tell him to. Not be maga choice. Not be called MAGA kevin. Basically be less crappy than MAGA mike.
Wouldn't a prolonged shutdown be bad for Trump, as well as most Republicans in general?
Nope. Just blame it on who is the president. Simple. Most people are too stupid to know WHY the government is shut down they just know that it is shut down and the president is in charge of everything now.
I see it as the opposite. The government has essentially been shut down for the past three weeks because of McCarthy's inability to keep his own side in line. There is much to be seen with regards to how capable Mike Johnson is at fundraising, recruiting candidates, and back room negotiating but so far it looks like he's better positioned to get his caucus to toe the line.
Well if McCarthy would have got his caucus to toe the line then the government would have actually been shut down for the past three weeks rather than just essentially shut down. Trump wants biden to look bad to voters. Government being shutdown while biden is in charge looks bad to voters, regardless of why its shut down. trump gets what he wants when it comes to the gop. The gop has the majority in the house. therefore the government will get shut down.
Did Johnson vote against the continuing resolution before? For the most part, he supported it.

Keeping your caucus in line doesn't mean caving in to the crazies. For her faults, Pelosi is great at it. There are multiple instances of Pelosi getting the squad to back off whatever crazy line they demanded the left pursue. McCarthy could not do with his crazies what Pelosi did with hers. McCarthy was not as good a leader as Pelosi. As embarrassing as this whole process has been, McCarthy did have to go.
I hope you are right. We will see. One thing is certain. MAGA wanted mccarthy gone and wanted johnson in his place. I dont typically trust what maga wants to also be what is good for the country. maybe this time will be different.Did Johnson vote against the continuing resolution before? For the most part, he supported it.

I have been clear all along that for me if maga wants something then democrats should not want that thing. That has been my issue.
McCarthy didn't cave in to his crazies and that's why he is gone.
