McCarthy is an awful choice, I think he’s content to stay in the minority forever, ala Bob Michel in the 80s. But I wasn’t sold on Jim Jordan either. The 159-49 vote proves we needed a better “conservative alternative”. I’m surprised there wasn’t more interest in a “Scalise for GOP leader” movement. You’d think there would have been a ground swell of support after his comeback from a near assassination attempt.
Liz Cheney sucks too, I noticed her fan club on FR who argued she’d be a “Fighter” for conservative causes has disappeared. She’s basically gotten every political post in her career because of her last name. Overall the whole GOP “leadership” team is lousy and I can’t see these guys ever running government.
And we still need to start a “bipartisan” campaign to get Alexandria Osacio-Cortez as Speaker. Can you imagine the entertainment value alone if C-SPAN had live coverage of all her activities?

Also, if Trump ran as an Independent, the three parties would split the electoral vote, ensuring the no one hits 270 EVs. Talk about fun!

“If anyone could be worse than Ryan it’s McCarthy. “
Hard to imagine he could be worse than Ryan but, even though he seems to always say the right things in support of the President, something about him makes me uneasy. Isn’t he the last of the Young Turks, with Cantor and Ryan being gone?

As I understand it, Jim Jordan is a real conservative?

Yes, he is, but he did not win. Where did Liz Cheney come from?

When Trump leaves the political scene the Rs will become a perpetual minority party. That's what I'm concerned about. Hopeful Trump can teach a few gonads into existence before hand.

I'm sure McCarthy has been groomed in the fine art of crossing the aisle.
To: grayboots
Well apparently Renee Elmer has been gone from Congress long enough that his peers are no longer concerned that McCarthy is an immoral philanderer as well as a RINO.
