Rep. Blackburn Should Run for House Speaker, Says ACU’s Daniel Schneider
Breitbart ^ | October 8, 2015 | Alex Swoyer

Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) should put her name in the race to become the next Speaker of the House, says the American Conservative Union’s executive director, Daniel Schneider.

“Blackburn is the most conservative woman in all of Congress. She has a lifetime ACU rating of 96 – that puts her in a solid ‘A’ camp. Year-in and year-out she is consistently been a solid performer,” Schneider said. “I would hope she would run,” Schneider told Breitbart News Thursday afternoon.

Schneider’s statements came Thursday, shortly after Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA)

She seems like a better choice than anyone I've seen thus far.

What says the hive?

I’ve learned in the last few days that everybody who has ever drawn a breath should run for House speaker.

When I first read the headline, I thought it was ACLU. I was going to say, WTH?

Well, if she's a real conservative, fine. Just don't want another Boehner.

She said she voted for one of the cromnibus procedural votes because Pelosi would have got demands from Boehner.

She’s not too bright as well in dealing with the media.

Id much rather have a semi-okay 50 year old generic Republican man than someone who will want to do some token identity politics stuff.

Good thing hispanic district heart throb McCarthy is not running.

Rubio, McCarthy, Curbelo(FL), Raul Labrador (Club for Amnesty conservative) and some others would be worse than a generic white guy from a white district.

Given that the ACU is in the open borders, pro-Muslim crowd, I urge caution.

Mia Love would be terrible. She’d goof some Black Lives Matter question which would be every 2nd question and why she sold out conservatives and sided with Priebus.

I dont understand why Steve King doesn’t run. Promise a bunch of things to the ag lobby.

Steve King for all his rhetoric is a better at speaking and handling hecklers than most of the clowns in congress.

Cynthia Lummis (Wyoming) might alright.

Looks like she’s even good on illegal immigration:

Sounds good to me—and much better than Paul Ryan.

She used to be very conservative, but she’s been there too long and has developed quite a RINO habit.

She campaigned for Lamar Alexander last fall.
These days, I’m not so sure she’s not part of the establishment problem.

King refuses to debate nobody Dem. Turns tables on Dem. Dem walks out acting thuggish and rude. Tells him to man up.

King Schools Colbert on illegals.
“From crab fishermen who venture out into some of the roughest and most dangerous waters in the world, to the Joe the Plumbers of the world who many days would prefer the aroma of fresh dirt to that of the sewage from American elitists who disparage them even as they flush.”

If she’s so bad in communications (despite having founded and running a events marketing and image consulting company), why was she named the communications chair of both the RSC and the NRCC?

B+ from numbersusa.

That's pretty good for a long-termer in Congress these days. Her only point losses come from "failures to support," and not from actively voting for or promoting illegal immigration. We could, and certainly have, done a lot worse.
