When will the GOP grow a collective spine?

 The drama over finding someone to take over as Speaker of The House of Representatives continues, now in its 3rd week.

On Tuesday, the GOP thought they had their man when they nominated Minnesota Rep. Tom Emmer. Four hours later, Emmer dropped out after being pressured by the oldest toddler in the country, Donald Trump.

"WAAAAAHHHHH!!! He's a RINO! He certified the election! You can't have him as Speaker! WAAAHHHHHH!!!"

What that means, of course, is that Emmer, after initially being an election denier, voted to certify Joe Biden's election as President, denying Fraud Fauntleroy a 2nd term. Trump started calling allies in the party to block Emmer from becoming Speaker. Those allies bowed to the deranged Trump, rather than do what is best for the country.

Late Tuesday, Mike Johnson of Louisiana became the new nominee, with a vote due sometime today. He's said all the right things about doing what's best for the country, not for a 77 year old man-child with self-esteem issues.

But, watch. Trump will spoil the party again with his incessant whining and pointless demands, despite the fact he has no power. What this says is that he does have dirt on a number of GOPers to force them to bend to his will. We just don't know how much there is.

Personally, I'd not be surprised if someone like 518 traitor Elise Stefanik or Georgia bubblehead Empty-G being named Speaker would be the only thing that satisfies Trump.
