Republican Anger Erupts at Johnson as Party Frets About Future

[Prairie Gates]

1. With Stefanik involved, this sounds like a strategy to distance themselves from the GOP brand, but not Trump

The best way to do that is to embody everything that people dislike about MAGAism and current GOP politics in an expendable patsy like Mike Johnson. That way, they can keep the MAGA vote by attaching themselves to Trump, while still appearing as "outsiders" in their dispute with Johnson, who is a loser and a nobody anyway. The whole thing sounds cooked up in a Roger Stone and Steve Bannon Russian sauna session.

Anyway, how's the weather under that bus, Mikey?
