1. Trump and the Joker

Tom Emmer was a Normie Republican. Then he became the “speaker designate”—which is a made-up job that we are all now pretending is a real thing.

Emmer attempted to support his bid by sucking up to Donald Trump.

In response, Trump stuck a knife in his front.

Trump Truthed out an attack on Emmer, called him a RINO and a globalist, and said that Emmer defended Ilhan Omar. Trump called members and told them to vote against Emmer. Trump then bragged, “He’s done. It’s over. I killed him.”

And so Tom Emmer had the biggest moment of his career destroyed by active measures from Donald Trump.

So I ask you this: Why isn’t Tom Emmer a Never Trump Republican now? Hell, why is Tom Emmer any type of Republican now?

We have been told that the GOP is now a purely transactional organization, with no special interest in honor or ideology. Okay. So in this transaction Donald Trump destroyed Emmer’s career.

And in return Emmer will do . . . nothing?

Why is that?
