McCarthy Scrambles To Apologize, Do Damage Control After Questioning Trump’s Strength

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) rushed to declare Donald Trump the “strongest political opponent” against President Joe Biden on Tuesday, hours after suggesting the former president might not be the “strongest” candidate to win the 2024 presidential elections.

Once again, Kevin shows himself to be remarkably spineless. I’m curious how one lives without a backbone? :laughing:

R. M. Renfield is a fictional character who appears in Bram Stoker’s 1897 Gothic horror novel Dracula. He is Count Dracula’s deranged, fanatically devoted servant and familiar, helping him in his plan to turn Mina Harker into a vampire in return for a continuous supply of insects to consume.

McCarthy is Trump’s bug-eater.

The really sad part to me is the GOPers are enthralled by a convicted sex abuser who has been twice criminally indicted with a total of 71 felony counts. That is really an epic scraping of the barrel bottom. The kicker is donnie did this to himself all by himself. This really ought to be sufficient grounds to disqualify a candidate, assuming due process and a conviction.
I have tried to envision such a scenario say 40-50 years ago. Even Nixon would’ve been told to “quit politics and go home”. But no, this is now and the goobers have a criminal candidate.
