Is McCarthy up to the job if the GOP wins the House next November?

If your troops won’t follow, can you really be considered a leader? It’s a question the Republicans need to start asking themselves now that the polls are showing a GOP takeover of the U.S House of Representatives after the next election is highly likely. The man thought most likely to be the next Speaker is California’s Kevin McCarthy, currently the House Minority Leader. He could have had the job once before, when former House Speaker John Boehner stepped down but, for reasons that are still not exactly clear, Mr. McCarthy eventually decided not to pursue it. With a new GOP majority in the offing, the job seems his for the taking.

He needs a challenger similar to the truck driver in NJ. Look at the guy in Va. who lost his primary years ago-another wannabe speaker-name not worth remembering. It's time to put a stop to the crap and clean house. He's part of the problem. No more kick the can down the road.

He is not up to the job

[poinq]

Why is he elected. The speaker needs to be someone to lead the actual republicans.

[ConservativeMind]

No, Kevin is not up to the job, but this is the Republican party we have, not the one we want.

[eyeamok]

In a word, NO, in fact HELL NO, he is a squishy republocrat

[Red Badger]

They Cowboys will win despite Mccarthy.................wait, uh, wrong McCarthy.....................

[Bon of Babble]

Really, is there “no one else” in the GOP “up to the job?”

Anyone would be better than Nancy Pelosi.

[Lurkinanloomin]

No and we will not get new leadership unless we change a majority of the membership.

145 GOP House members voted for Liz Cheney in Feb. to lead them, away from MAGA.

Although McCarthy talks up a good game, he has tested positive for the Cavid (the “California virus”) which would be a problem if he develops symptoms. Unfortunately, just like with Covid, there is no effective vaccine for Cavid.

NO-—HE IS NOT THE MAN FOR THE JOB!!!!
He never was!!!!!!
(caps on for a reason!!)

[Howie66]

Hell NO. McCarthy is NOT up to the job.

[lgjhn23]

Ummmm.......NO!
He’s already proven himself to be a failure.
We need a warrior....no some has-been whimp.

[Lurkinanloomin]

His name was Eric Cantor and every freedom loving American should thank us for taking him out, they were going to pass amnesty the very next day if he had won his primary.

Whole lot of Cantorizing needs to happen.

That RINO butt kisser of Democrats isn’t fit for office now, let alone if a majority is regained.

[Lurkinanloomin]

First you need a majority of actual Republicans.
Assistant Democrats will always pick Assistant Democrats for their leaders.

[FLT-bird]

No. Next.

[marcusmaximus]

Nope.

[teevolt]

None of the McWeak (McDaniel, McConnel, or McCarthy) are up for the job, but I’m voting republican
