It’s going to be McCarthy

[SeekAndFind]

Here’s my list:

Louis Gohmert (R-Texas)

Steve King (R-Iowa)

Tom McClintock (R-California)

Duncan Hunter (R-California)

I would have included Trey Gowdy (R-SC) but he’s very busy prosecuting the Benghazi case, I’ll let me continue.

[Paine in the Neck]

Hensarling might be ok. Pete Sessions is an absolute no go. (Don’t confuse Sen. Jeff Sessions who is superb with Rep. Pete Sessions who is execrable.)

[Clintonfatigued]

Paul Ryan could make a good Speaker. He’s smart, principled, and already well-known.

[Stand Watch Listen]

Au contraire...The ‘open secret’ is that Renee Ellmers, R from NC is having an affair with Majority Leader of the house Kevin McCarthy of Bakersfield, CA. Is there really a chance of blackmail in an open secret affair? Wanting to prevent the low information voters from knowing?

[JediJones]

And he’s an amnesty pimp RINO.

Who wants it? Who can win it? Who’s the most conservative?

[1010RD]

Good.

[ncalburt]

Mccarthy is the worst option of them all.

[Impy]

That suggestion isn’t gonna go over well here. ;p

[Georgia Girl 2]

The worst and the most likely.

[1010RD]

Correct, so you have to find someone better, but they won’t be perfect. The great part is if we get a Republican President then he’ll have the most conservative Congress in generations.

My hope had been to have Walker fill that role. He was the only one running who ever pulled a Democrat on the Democrats. He created a situation in which the teacher’s union became the enemy to its members. That money is gone and so is that power.

We need that same kind of reverse Democratcare/reverse Great Society conservative moves. It’s also a great way to kill DOE and DOE. Just give that money to the states and shut them down.

[1010RD]

Correct.

[1010RD]

Very good and we have to start vetting these guys, but always looming: Who wants it? Who can win it? Then, of course, who’s the most conservative?

[novemberslady]

Gomert also said he didn’t want it

damn it!
He would be great.

[1010RD]

Exactly what we need. None of the final contestants are going to be without blemish. Hensarling took money from GS for example. It’s the nature of the beast.

[1010RD]

GIGO.

[ObamahatesPACoal]

Hensarling is equal worst on immigration.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Funniest thing I’ve read today. Thanks for the laughs, CF. That topped the two Bawston Retahds fishing.

[kinsman redeemer]

Good choices:
Louie Gohmert
Steve King

or,
Trey Gowdy (who says he's not interested)
