Did Trump order McCarthy to come out last night and to declare victory?

[kentuck]

It sounds like something he might do.

McCarthy did not look comfortable making his announcement.

If so, he's going to have a tough time running a majority in the House.

It might be very difficult for him to get 218 votes to be Speaker?

It's going to be fun watching the Republicans in the House for the next couple of years, if they win the House.

1. I think Putin told him to

3. Yep someone's fingerprints are on the performance.

We just cannot decide who.

Mitch McConnell popped into my head.

But it could have been Trump.

Doesn't really matter, they all take the marching orders from Putin.

2. "...fun watching the Republicans in the House...."

In a toxic, time-to-get-a-mamogram kinda way.

But I take your point. They will be ungovernable and ineffective.

Let's hope we hold the House and the point is moot.

4. If Repugs win the house, they will make good on their threats to impeach Biden, investigate

the J6C members, investigate Hunter Biden, cut funding for Ukraine, and do everything else they possibly can to obstruct any Democratic legislation. It won't be fun to watch at all. It will be depressing, infuriating, and frustrating.

5. We need a 50-state strategy with a better ground game.

I wonder when the DNC will be willing to do this.

Howard Dean called for it, and ever since, we've
just been languishing.

6. ITA!

7. Bring back Howard Dean!

I think he's a great strategist!

8. I Wish

We need experienced, competent people who are committed to a coherent nationwide strategy. Howard Dean would be perfect.
