Michael Steele was on Morning Joe Friday and he says that the Republican party has moved on past Donald Trump. That would seem to be good news, right?

Wrong. Steele also makes the point that there is “milquetoast” leadership in the Republican party that will not draw a “bright red line” about what is acceptable to the party and what is not.

The recent events at Mar-a-Lago with the extremists, Kanye West and Nick Fuentes, and the fact that Trump and other GOPers have not come forward to denounce them, tells you everything you need to know about the moral rot of the Republican party. Donald Trump is still a former president and is a declared candidate for the 2024 presidential election. If the GOP has in fact moved on from him, it has only moved down, as Steele explains.

Steele is right. Kevin McCarthy has been taking Greene to events, promising her committees back, giving her a de facto leadership role. He’s terrified of alienating the extremist fringe that she is the voice for, along with Matt Gaetz, Jim Jordan, and others.

So look to McCarthy to have the gavel, assuming the mystery candidate doesn’t get it first, and look to Greene to be the voice of the House.

This is going to be insane. Welcome to The Apprentice: Hell House edition.

  1. Greene gets to be this ONLY if McCarthy sews up the Speaker’s gavel. She strictly represents the loon faction and there’s JUST enough of the non-loons on her side to make her powerless. Never take even a former Republican at their word…particularly when they’re treating events like McCarthy’s “victory” like a fait accompli. Does anyone REALLY think that the Dems are not quietly working in the background here with their own play?

  2. Welcome to Germany in the early thirties. In 1930 the educated, Christian, democratic Republic saw the nazis as crazy. By 1933 they were well on the way to Hell because of the same processes we have going on here. Like the conservatives that handed Hitler power thinking they could control him, found out the hard way that insane nazis are way beyond the guardrails. Now that the inmates have taken over the House, we can witness our continued slide into fascism. When a fascist takes over Twitter & all the right wing media continue their onslaught of lies for the next two years, we are in trouble beyond our brief reprieve by squeaking out the senate. Face it. After they vote WITH the insurrectionists, ended women’s rights, and vowed to end medicare/social security,THEY STILL TOOK THE HOUSE! The only real hope for the moment, is if the voters smarten up and learn to tell the difference between lies and facts. Haven’t seen much evidence to date. This is far far from over. The insurrection continues. This is a winner take all game.

    • No central leader, no control, thus no workable analogy. After hearing “Weimar Republic” and “Nazi Germany” for 20 f***ing years, I keep wondering when the folks who keep spouting it that the joke is on them.

  3. If you think all the damage done, children destroyed, people killed with Trump still loose…is some kind of joke…u are not as experienced or smart as you think you are. Clearly. No ‘central leader, no control’??? Oh there’s a leader & these nazis have already stolen the presidency, kept control of the senate to keep biden’s agenda at bay with the help of 2 faux democrats, and now control the House. They led a violent coup TWO YEARS AGO and not one of the real political leaders have gone to jail. Italy just went fascist after all that happened in WW2. You folks in Tennessee need to leave home and get more real world experience instead of living in your bubble of arrogance. Fascism is no fucking joke and why don’t you get off your cushy ass and join the military and see what they believe. Ever serve? I already know the answer from your smug assurances that this could never happen here. Sure sonny.
