If it was a true shank, I think MAGA would scream and they would be holding a vote as to whether McCarthy keeps the chair. I think MAGA did the best the could with what they had to negotiate with, the opposition was too strong on this vote and there was no path to outright defeating it. That's what I get from Trump's comment. He was essentially taking the MAGA Movement anger and blowback off the MAGA Reps who faced an impossible situation.

Been hearing this every time we get it in the sphincter. Its kinda old now
Beating (((TPTB))) isn't necessarily winning every battle, just winning the right battles. The McCarty speakership deal was one of the right battles to win. I'm still waiting to see how that works out over the long run. We need more elected MAGA people to help in the fight. And yes, securing elections has a long list of to-dos in itself. Many states are trying to clean up their voting processes for 2024. Never a dull minute. Many things in motion on both sides.
