By looking at Hakeem's view concerning the two it's obvious he considers Mike Johnson to be much less on the right than MTG, and Democrats would not have helped keep Mike Johnson from being removed, much less talked about it, then or at any other time, if he wasn't a RINO, which is what this article is a good reminder of.
Now, has Trump backed some good choices in 2016 and in 2024 as well? Yes. Did he have some whoppers in 2016? Yes. Like Nukey Haley, John Boltoff, Pompeii (lol), and a few others.
Is Mike Johnson a RINO? Obviously, given he caves into Dems on spending, funded Ukraine (despite 10% for the Big Guy), a big one, but not the one this year before the near end of the year...that one for Ukraine he rejected.
Plus he's a RINO for other reasons.
Was it a pragmatic move by Trump to back Johnson to smooth out transition?
Also obviously.
Will it cause Johnson to stop being a RINO?
Doubtful. And extremely so...

So there you have it in what I said above.

Has Rep Massie, who now is opposed to Johnson being speaker always been 100%? No, but who is?
But could he even remotely be called a RINO?
Obviously not.
That’s all.

Pelosi also promised McCarthy they’d back him in the event there was a motion to vacate.

No, your are a POS incel, not me.
And you haven’t said anything like that on other threads of those like me, who support Trump, explaining why he did what he did.
You didn’t read what I said above in reply to the article or you wouldn’t be saying that.
So buzz off, ahole.
To: SPDSHDW
Yep
Other threads from the last have been posted about Massie, MTG, etc, today, all providing needed explanations.
Trump is in a position where he really has no good alternatives right now.
It doesn’t mean though that Johnson isn’t a RINO, and it doesn’t mean Massie isn’t a good Rep.

thank goodness the Democrats fully support their titular House Speaker, namely Mike Johnson ...
