Proposition: Mike Johnson is now positioned to deliver the coup de grâce to the Cantelope Coot. What are the chances he will actually realize how much power now he suddenly wields?
Hypothetical situation: Were he to choose to do further “right things” Mike could maintain and redeploy the coalition that just pushed his legislative goals over the line. For instance, if he brought the immigration bill to the floor and passed it, praise would rain down from on high (and the main stream media) ordaining him as “the little Republican that could”. Such an achievement, multiple major legislative acts passed in quick succession, would be tantamount to the baton passing from the Mango Muttonhead to the new Republican Party under Mike Johnson. By slam-dunking on immigration, Mike would bleed the remaining air out of the Trump balloon, effectively killing his candidacy since the power DJT wielded when stopping the immigration bill in the first place would now be overtly deflated, squashing the Tangerine Trickster’s last campaign weapon (besides the whining and coup-ing).
DJT’s current slide down the slippery slope would simply accelerate as he vanishes over the edge, likely taking Marjorie Traitor Greene and her ilk with him. And how ironic is it that little Mikey Johnson is the Republican that finally takes the Bronzed Brat out.
Of course, were Mike to succeed at taking this course, our DK problem becomes having a Christo-Fascist sitting as the Speaker of the House. Hopefully, the election solves that problem.
