Donald, I'll admit up front I'm not a fan. However, Boehner's sudden resignation/retirement has presented you with a golden opportunity, if you have the cojones to go after it. ..
Absolutely, ALL conservatives—Trump, Cruz, and everyone need to scream No!
WE have to do OUR part, and let our Reps and Candidates know exactly how we feel about McCarthy as Speaker.
I doubt if Trump knows anything about the House of Representatives.....I dare say Boehner didn’t know anything about representing the people.
Excellent idea. Hopefully he is getting some inside strategy tips from the likes of Cruz, Palin, etc....
Good idea. Have you sent this idea to Trump’s campaign?
Just for conversation sake, there are 15 Republican Representatives with a 100% Conservative rating by ACU for 2013. And, at least one of them retired (Bachmann). I’m not saying a 100% rating is required or even desired, but it is a good place to start the conversation. There are many in the 95-100 range.
Sanford, S.C.
Duncan, S.C.
Gowdy, S.C.
Mulvaney, S.C.
Jordan, Ohio
Garett, N.J.
Scalise, Louis
Pompeo, Kansas
Labrador, Idaho
Radel, Flor
DeSantis, Flor
McClintock, Cali
Salmon, Ariz
Schweikert, Ariz
Bachmann, Ill.
Louie Gohmert is on Hannity radio show talking about this right now. Talking about possible replacements.
(I just sent this article to Trump)
EXCLUSIVE– Mark Levin Warns House Republicans: Do Not Support Kevin McCarthy For Speaker
Daniel Webster (Florida)says on Hannity radio he would run for Speaker.
Easy. Cuz you suggested it.
Maybe because of McCarthy’s D-rating by Numbers USA, the immigration watchdog group.
The speaker doesn’t have to come from a sitting member. It would be refreshing to find a conservative not a member so there is one more for committee assignments etc
So your statement is that you would not support Trump and that you really don’t like him, but he could be useful to you before you cheer on his demise. Nice!
Then you advise him about what he should be doing to help you out when you wouldn’t lift a finger to help him out.
Double nice!
KEVIN McCARTHY (Boehner’s choice to succeed him as Speaker)
PROS:
Republican (not that THAT means anything any more!)
CONS:
Boehner’s handpicked Majority Leader. (And we all know how suspect was Boehner’s judgement.)
From California (Not that they’re all nuts out there, but most of them ARE seriously deranged.)
Ranked 142 of the 435 members of the House (a B-)
(Boehner was a C and ranked 221)
Supports AMNESTY!
THEN THERE IS THIS. There are numerous reports that McCarthy, who is married, had or is having an affair with a married female member of Congress. Please do your OWN research if you believe this could be a problem for McCarthy. Here’s why it could be:
During the effort to impeach Bill Clinton, Newt Gingrich was having a “secret” (to everyone outside the Beltway) affair with Calista Bassick (who is now his wife). It’s believed in some quarters that the Democrats used the threat of going public with that information to keep Gingrich quiet during the impeachment effort. It worked and Clinton survived. Although with all the skeletons in their closets, the Dems would have to be nuts to do so (that said, I give you Debbie Wasseman Schultz!), do we really need another MARRIED high GOP official who may have trouble keeping his pants on and could easily be blackmailed if he refuses to go along to get along?
For what it’s worth, one final comment: I list below 9 folks who would quickly get MY support for Speaker. They are the top ranked Reps. at GRADEGOV.COM. These folks are pretty hard core conservatives and may not even have a chance to win the slot given the number of spineless weasels STILL in office up there.
That said, I’d ask you to remember that it was PREVIOUS MIDDLE OF THE ROADERS who got us into this mess. And the two things most often found in the middle of the road are DEAD SKUNKS and YELLOW STREAKS!
RANKING ARE FROM GRADEGOV.COM AND BASED ON VOTES CAST BY CITIZENS!

PS: I’d love to see Trey Gowdy get the job but would be happy with any of these folks. Trey as speaker would have the Dems and RINOs wetting themselves!
PPS: Martha Roby would be an excellent choice just to watch Pelosi burst into flames on the floor!!
Fellow Georgian DR. TOM PRICE RANKED 29 (A SOLID “B”)
Thin Nicky. Thin and weak. :-)
You have the calculus about right, the only way to get a conservative speaker is for many districts to do what mine did and Cantorize their weasel.
I don’t trust ACU, Heritage would be a better choice.
Hey Jane...I was honest..said I wasn’t a fan...but I can be persuaded..it would be a great move...
He is NOT the guy for the job,.,
Thanks for the link..I just found my new tag line
