Conservatives were ready to negotiate a deal with Kevin McCarthy to perhaps deliver the votes that would make him the next House Speaker when he suddenly dropped out of the race Thursday.
"I was surprised as anybody that he pulled out," said Rep Raul Labrador, R-Idaho.
Rep. Mick Mulvaney, R-S.C., another conservative, said he spoke to McCarthy just minutes before the announcement, but McCarthy didn't breathe a word about dropping out. But instead of getting a conservative pitch from McCarthy, he announced he wasn't the right person for the job.
"We are just as stunned as you are," Mulvaney said after the announcement.

Stunned, I bet you were, Traitors!
Voters taker note!!!
Obviously the guy’s wife told him she didn’t want to read in the papers, or hear on television, anymore about his affair.
Got News got under his skin.
His Wiki edited from a DHS IP address?
Maybe he stepped aside to keep Boehner in. Maybe there will be something more to follow. Maybe they need time to get the FBI files of those they can blackmail.
When I saw the thread about the girlfriend yesterday, I suspected that things might not go well. And, besides, subbing McCarthy for Boehner accomplished nothing.
Nothing but keep his promises made to the Dems and Obummer alive...
Sure looks like Boehner sticks around till end of 2016 now, doesn’t it?
Shhh, u were not supposed to see this...
Someone in a hurry is screwing up, swirling out of control totally...
Down in flames, despite what the Media trumpets are blaring
Whores
“Got News got under his skin”.
Renee Ellmers got under his foreski......
If you gonna bump uglies with someone..... try not to take the expression literally
Daily Mail headline about the affair:
“Did rumors of love affair between Kevin McCarthy and a married congresswoman torpedo his elevation to House speaker? Internet goes berserk with guesses while alleged mistress denies it all.”
Gotta wonder what’s going to happen tomorrow..
Who are these guys kidding....they know why. Guy was dipping his wick.
The bigger problem is that the “conservatives” we’re ready to settle for McCarthy. If there is anything they need to take away from Senator Cruz”s war with McConnel is that you don’t have to just settle for the options that are laid out. Set expectations and fight for them. If you go down, at least you go down fighting.
Is anybody denying it on TV? I’m hearing nothing. Of course, I’m not sure it matters anymore. Leave the two lovebirds and their families alone, I guess.
Throw all the bums out.
Obviously the guy’s wife told him she didn’t want to read in the papers, or hear on television, anymore about his affair.>>>
yes and we all know that but why doesn’t the examiner know that?
That my FRiend is up to the folks in the Hose who need to get on their knees and search their souls for guidance..
Then they put their cards on the table and we see...
But we also not who stands where and what for, we must never forget those who in truth oppose that which we all here hold most dear
The United States of America and the Freedom we have a right to defend ourselves, even against them to preserve our way of life
God Bless and keep you all
