Is Matt Gaetz a Diversion? [View all]

Idk if I’m spelling his name right??? But really I don’t care.
I just wonder if his nomination is meant to fail? I feel like this serves several purposes.
1.) Loyalty test. Do something that is so outrageous to see who is truly loyal to you.
2.) If/When he fails to move forward… then trump will concede to put up someone more “moderate” like Aileen Cannon??? And then they’ll argue, “see he’s willing to be more reasonable”. When we attack her nomination, the narrative is Dems are just obstructionists.
