If you are an actual conservative Republican, the ones the MAGA crowd calls RINOS, then Johnson is just a continuation down a dangerous path for the party. The silence from them on this can mean one of four things. One, they will vote for someone else, like Emmer, and just continue the battle without much of a fuss. Two, they reveal they have been coordinating with Democrats and join the vote for Jeffries. A highly unlikely but still possible scenario. Three, they have decided to vote "present" and are just tired of the fight but cannot bring themselves to vote for this person. Or four, they have been whipped into submission out of fear of being primaried.

I have no clue which one it will be.

My money is on four. We just saw just how beholden to Trump the GOP still is.
