Well I certainly didn’t see anything that supports that, but I would think it must be the case. Let’s hope so anyway. 8>)

The stupid from National Review is so bad that it hurts.

I refuse to click on that website and support their revenue from advertising.

Nikki? Really?

She is the epitome of establishment!

No, I mean since it would only happen if the WH endorsed it—and she has clearly played up her “friendship” with Javanka. Which of course is going precisely where the wind is blowing!

McCarthy is trying to fool people with his radio ads about how he’s all anti-illegal immigration, just like Trump.

Of course, would have been nice if his PAC had spent their money supporting the local GOP congress critters rather than this faker’s campaign to become Speaker...

You’re on the fringe of insanity!

The constitution does matter.

I really don’t think that would be a good idea. In times such as these the Speaker needs to be someone who supports the President’s agenda and can rally support for it in the House. We wouldn’t be dithering about a border wall now had either of the last two Speakers been willing or able to perform that function.

McCarthy was funded by big farmers that do hire labor contractors that employ lots of illegals.

He personally probably is opposed to the illegals, but he couldn’t possibly get elected if he shouts it.

That is the reality of rural California.

Oh HELL no.

Fricking National Review. I’m so sick of them. And I used to be a subscriber.

But there are provisions to bypass and proceed to the next one in the line of succession if one in line does not meet Constitutional requirements. After all Congressmen/women & Senators do not have to be Natural Born citizens. Also there is nothing that prevents them from being Speaker of the House or President pro tempore of the Senate.

Who says personally probably?

He’s been an Establishment sellout all along.

I'd love to have Nikki Haley as speaker but that would be out of the box and the old guard just will not have it..

God forbide if the pubs would have an attractive, well spoken female as a leader....apparently, we like em old, pale, very white, and very connected to the old guard....

All elected legislators have sold out to someone to get the funds to run for office.

I was simply pointing out that his personal desires would be in conflict with his ability to attain and retain office.

This is true of every rural California legislator.
