Barletta is a good guy and he is certainly great on immigration.
I think King and Barletta with real tans would make Boehner look even worse.
Another example would be Susan Collins or Mike Enzi for senate GOP leader.
Mike Enzi would lose a primary if he did something wrong in a major way. Susan Collins could be majority leader for 18 years and she’d probably keep winning primaries because of the state she is in. Same with McCarthy.
