1. He is bought and owned already so...

2. Not as ego driven as McCarthy? Or just tired of his far right members?

He's smarter than 'Coddle 'em Kevin'. If Elon/Trump want him as Speaker, let THEM pay off the needed votes.

3. A poor example of saying there's quid pro quo without saying there's quid pro quo...

MAGAhick Johnson needs to up his game, he’s dealing with professional grifters now.

4. What's he got to deal with?

Charm? Looks? Blackmail?

5. I.O.W. that is exactly what he and or Trump/Musk are doing.

6. Okay, sure.

Whatever you say, dude who apparently needs a porn babysitter.

7. He has cut deals

Basically he is announcing he has already cut deals, but is planning on not cutting any new ones so they better take what they already got and vote for him.

He has been as bought as he plans on being bought!
