22. Reason why McCarthy/MoscowMitch flipped from condemning TFG to supporting TFG-threat of third party

Do you remember shortly after January 6 insurrection when MoscowMitch and Kevin McCarthy both condemned TFG on the floor of the Senate and the House? Keving McCarthy then went to Mar-a-Lago and swore fealty to TFG and MoscowMitch just went silent on TFG. There are a ton of articles which express amazement at the fact that McCarthy and MoscowMitch flipped on TFG when they first condemned TFG's role in the Jan. 6 insurrection and then changed their stories and started ignoring TFG's role in this attempted insurrection. These articles seem surprised that so many republicans went from condemning TFG to praising him. To me, the main reason for this flip is clear.

After being attacked and condemned by McCarthy, MoscowMitch and other republicans for his role in the attempted coup, TFG started discussing forming a new political party that would in effect kill the GOP's chances in future elections.

If TFG formed his Patriot Party, that party would draw a significant percentage of the GOP base and would kill the GOP's chances in future elections. Rather than risk facing a new TFG sponsored third party, the GOP caved.

There is no real mystery as to why McCarthy and MoscowMitch changed their positions. A TFG sponsored third party would hurt the GOP in the midterms and would ensure that the Democratic candidate would win in a presidential contest. That may be in party the reason why the RNC is still paying TFG's legal bills.

Now that Murdoch and the sane GOP members are turning on TFG, TFG is going back to the concept of forming his own party. I think that this is a bluff. It takes a ton of money to get onto the ballot in most states. Kanye West spent a ton of money and only got onto the ballot in a handful of states and Kanye was aided by GOP consultants who knew the law. TFG would have to start from scratch.

Again, TFG is too lazy and there are too many lawsuits pending against him that should rendered TFG too poor to form a third party.
