Think the call for all candidates for the job to open their closet and reveal any skeletons may have been the clincher?

I wonder if anyone else will now throw their hat in the ring. The two remaining may have just gotten more than they bargained for.

Initial reaction is great news.....but, my cynical mind kind of wondering what they know that we don't.

First Boehner resigns unexpectedly, now McCarthy drops out?

We need the Photoshop boys to shop McCarthy in the place of Kurt Russell in that gif.

Kevin (Charlie) McCarthy couldn’t get to 218, so he decided not to be Speaker on his terms rather than ours.
