House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) isn't sure that former President Donald Trump is the most electable Republican running for president -- and that has many Trump allies fuming.
In interviews with CNN, Trump aides blasted McCarthy for saying on CNBC that "I dont know that answer" about whether Trump is "the strongest to win the election" in 2024.
While this was not exactly a strong condemnation of the former president, it was apparently enough to trigger outrage from people within his orbit.
"Ive been fielding calls on this since it happened, one Trump ally told CNN. People are not happy. What was he thinking?

Now, now Kev, don't go against Dear Leader or the magaloons will come for you.

(82,849 posts)Then he lost the popular vote by 7.1 million votes in 2020. Based on that trajectory, he'll lose the popular vote by 10 million votes or more in 2024.
I mean, really, what has the defendant done in the last two years that would draw more voters to his whiny pity party of a candidacy? Being indicted? Losing the case with E. Jean Carroll and getting nicked for $5 million? Being indicted again? Holding rallies dedicated to his personal grievance recitations? What voters who opposed the defendant in the last two general elections suddenly said, "Wait! This guy really deserves a second look-see from me. Perhaps I judged him too hastily." Yeah, fucking nobody.
Of course McCarthy is right about the defendant's electability, as cravenly as he put it. But that doesn't cut any ice with the defendant's True Believers.
Fuck these people. Just because they're butt-hurt, that doesn't qualify them to run the country again.
