During an appearance on this week’s broadcast of “Sunday Morning Futures,” Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) endorse his California colleague Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) for the House of Representatives speakership.

According to Issa, McCarthy had “earned” the job.

“Has any progress been made with respect to some concessions or some dealmaking behind the scenes where you think, on Tuesday, he could win this vote outright?” “Sunday Morning Futures” fill-in host Jackie DeAngelis asked.

“You will take the McCarthy shot, it’s safe and effective. Not doing so would be dangerous.”

Biden won’t sign any significant bill pushed by conservatives. It’s purely a political fight for the next 2 years. We need to demand a good speaker now in preparation for 2024 when we actually have a chance to pass something.

McCarthy had “earned” the job.

Following the Peter Principle. Lightweights rise to the top.

Issa talks the talk, but is a California RINO at spending heart.

C’mon man!

McCarthy is an amalgam of Hastert, Boeher and Ryan. With McConnell and Romney mixed in.

RINO Swamp Stew!!

I really hate how the Republicans cling to the "it's his turn" method of advancement.

I don't think Hakeem Jeffries ascended this way. If ever there was a need for the Star Trek Mirror, Mirror method of promotion, Republicans in Congress could us it.

He “earned” a turn, just like Mitt Romney and John McCain “earned” a turn at running for President. It’s what the Uniparty Red Squad says when they are setting up a loss. Or a loser.

Issa is like Gowdy. All hat no cattle.

His quote from the article shows why the GOPe will always be losers.

“”You can’t make a decision somebody with nobody. And, quite frankly, there is no alternative to Kevin. He clearly is our choice broadly. And he’s earned it. He’s earned it over more than a decade of incredible hard work in the leadership.””

Says someone who has accomplished..... ?

I’ll wait.
And wait.
And wait.

All I can ever remember of Issa and Gowdy is the Benghazi testimony and what came of that after honest civil servants sacrificed their careers.......

Still waiting.

McCarthy has earned nothing but contempt, mis-trust and is widely despised.
He’s a DS operative/UniParty hack just like McConnell.
And just like McConnell, he used ill-gotten FTX funds to undermine the MAGA congressional candidates. He should be kicked out of the GOP, placed in a prison orange jumpsuit and in a cell, NOT the Speaker’s slot.
Even in spite of all that, the POS is as useless a teats on a feral boar hog....gutless.
