I think most of McCarthy’s opponents are rejecting him out of principle—a rare thing in Congress. It’s starting to look like he’s not going to get enough support.

If you look at my earlier posts I’ve been pragmatic on this, but now I’m moving toward scorched earth. We do not need any more deep state GOPe dictating how the government is run.
The GOPe despises conservatives but covets our votes. They need to learn that they will lose their jobs if they do not do what we want. They also need to be held accountable to their oaths of office—criminally and civilly.
