Whatever inroads Emmer was trying to make, he's about to lose ground even faster to the counter campaign.

It truly seems like the only path forward is some kind of deal with Democrats. Democrats actually have a ton of leverage since they only need to turn five votes if they agree on collective action.

Oh, I'm sure Emmer properly respects the power of a Trump endorsement, in that he has enough neurons firing to recognize it as a kiss of death in general elections.


Yeah, he seems to know all about them as he was trying to sway republicans away from him in the midterms and he was ultimately proven right.

Emmer's the only one who can go forward with a vote, and naturally he'd rather not at the moment.

If Trump is done with Emmer, that should be game over
Was Trump ever with Emmer? I mean Emmer did the one thing Trump hates more then anything, accept that Biden won.

Silence was supposed to be consent for the GOP. I'm sure they wanted Trump to fight for Jordan but he didn't say anything.

Coming out against Emmer at the last possible moment is the kiss of death.

Him asking for it doesn't mean he was ever going to get it. Trump would never support someone like him. Someone who accepts the results of elections. That just makes Emmer a bigger idiot then I thought.

It's funny that no republican would dare work with democrats. I know why they won't but at this point it would be easier then trying to work with their own party. A republican will need to work with democrats to win at this point. They have no path forward without it.

I don't think Trump thought this through though. Until Emmer bows out or is voted down in another secret ballot, he's the nominee.

He has two choices now if he wants to make power moves. Assert that the congressional GOP has its own agenda separate from Trump or work with the Democrats.

Not with, but he was neutral on him yesterday. Emmer fluffed Trump's ego and Trump started publicly saying he's always gotten along with Emmer and wouldn't have a problem with the guy becoming Speaker.

Trump explains why he changed his mind:

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4272938-trump-emmer-speaker-tragic-mistake/amp/

I believe he has now learned his lesson, because he is saying that he is Pro-Trump all the way, but who can ever be sure? Trump wrote. Has he only changed because thats what it takes to win? The Republican Party cannot take that chance, because thats not where the America First Voters are. Voting for a Globalist RINO like Tom Emmer would be a tragic mistake!

Translation: "The MAGA mob said no Emmer."

Dude kissed Trump's ring then gave up when that didn't work, without even TRYING to talk to Dems...
God, their entire fucking party is vile and hopeless.
I genuinely think they'd sooner literally eat Trump's shit as a show of subordination before even considering a compromise w/ the Dems....

He expected democrats to help him without being asked. That's is something the GOP has believed for a long time, that they can bad mouth, attack and demonize the Dems all they want and democrats will still bail them out to keep the government going.

They're tearing themselves apart. Jordan couldn't get enough R votes because he was involved in January 6th and wouldn't admit Biden won the election. Emmer couldn't get enough R votes because he voted to certify the election.
