Yeah, OK on that. He’s “been there” since the mid 1990’s...kidding! ;-) I just think as House Speaker he will tend to emulate McCarthy more than emulating a “Freedom Caucus” member.
Probably true on that last.
It’s one thing to be a conservative flame-thrower, it’s another to actually run stuff: Despite the common FReeper opinion to just shut it down, our Gov’t is nearly 1/4 of our GDP. Yes, I know, much of it goes on even in a shutdown, but, shutdowns tend to be politically damaging for Conservatives. The world economy, ours included, is quite vulnerable now too — getting back to a reduced public sector needs to be done carefully to avoid a very tough Depression.
