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.

Ok so where’s the challenger? We got a whole lotta nothing here without one.
Business interests in his district will stand up for his clout and other congressmen in DC will support him if he wins. Only the little guy can nip it in the bud on June 7. Feb. 14-March 11 is the window to sign up for a primary challenge. I’m not counting on anyone stepping up but if a frumpy truck driver in NJ can do it there’s a possibility.

The GOP needs a leader that his heads and shoulders above what they’ve had the past few decades.
