House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s latest vow of loyalty to ex-President Donald Trump offers the clearest signal yet about the character of the likely Republican House majority that could rock Washington next year.

The Californian’s quickly exposed denial last week of a true, private remark that he might ask Trump to resign after the January 6 riot was important not just because it added a new detail about the attack on US democracy in 2021.

Rather, the choice he made – between telling a blatant lie or destroying his own dream of being speaker by confirming the truth and alienating the ex-President – reveals the vital power calculation underpinning the modern GOP. That dynamic hands Trump enormous potential proxy power if the party makes good on its strong prospects and wins the House of Representatives in November.


Argue with that. Kindly explain how this is fake news.

YOu're overestimating the republican's chances.

McCarthy is a pathetic caricature of a real man.
 
The former POTUS is still party luminary until someone else takes his mantle…

Luminary means something like shining light. Serial adulterer, 6 time bankrupt, grab 'em by the *****, good people on both sides Trump is many things but he is not a shining light.

Shining light for the reactionary base in this country.

It was not intended as a positive attribute in this context.
 
This guy should be the new Speaker.

Totally represents the GOP.
 
GOP is still beholden to Trump and his flying monkeys, still deranged in their obsession with and commitment to him.

Donations are being accepted to help provide Republicans with tanning lamps so that they may recover enough testosterone to one day stand up to their pathetic wee fingered strongman.

Let's hope so. All that sacrificing of his integrity should come with a cost.
 
Seems to me I recall some folks speculating that when the GOP takes control of the House, they might decide to install Trump as the Speaker. Boy, wouldn't that be fun?

GOP's attitude towards Trumpism - in for a penny, in for a pound
