It is hard to imagine the GOP taking the risk of allowing McCarthy to become speaker. He's not very bright but he thinks that he is. I recall an observation from someone in my youth.

Depends on whether Trump believes he'd own McCarthy. Jordan might be a natural ally for Trump, but he'd lack the abject subservience Trump may be able to extract from McCarthy.
