Rep. Peter Roskam, currently chief deputy whip, is touting himself as the most experienced candidate — and the only one who will be a disciplinarian toward rambunctious members who vote out of step with leadership.

Out of step with the leadership? SCREW THE LEADERSHIP!!! Our Reps are supposedly representing us, not the leadership.

Roskam needs to be tarred, feathered and rode out of DC on a rail.

If Roscam wins this, we actually took a step backwards with the loss of Cantor. The party elite are getting even more obvious in their disdain for voters. Entitled bastards. Cantor was the better of the three in leadership. I would have voted against him, too, and for Brat. There are many good men and women in the congress in the mold of Brat and every time we can replace a DC drone with a thinking conservative, it’s a step forward as a whole. In terms of the leadership team, this group could potentially be worse.
