There must be a HIGH level of disgust for Gaetz in the House, even among Repubs!

If he does, then we can talk about whether he has a spine.

But the guy is bucking the program just by INTIMATING that he MAY have a spine!

It's the illusion of propriety that they're intending to put forth that makes all the difference. They have to make it look like they actually weighed the pros and cons of their action.

If Johnson planned on replacing Guest with someone else, that went out the window
Because...
If Gaetz angers Johnson, or Guest...
If Gaetz becomes Atty General, and he angers House members...
And that's just three examples
Probably be the nicest they have played in a long time
