As unhappy as many FReepers are with McCarthy (I find his positions from wearing a Ukraine flag pin to supporting the draft of women appalling) the problem for me was, there was no apparent alternative. No one ran against him. I can’t see what to do in this case. The holdouts that got major concessions (hopefully they will be enacted formally Monday!) were admirable in using what leverage they had.
I wanted Scalise. He didn’t run.
“I wanted Scalise. He didn’t run.”
I kept seeing Scalise being brought up but don’t see the attraction.

When McCarthy gets “run out” like Gingrich, Hastert, Boehner, Ryan, etc.
Scalise will get the job, after he disappoints, he’ll get ran.....rinse & repeat.
Why would you want to elevate the most ineffective Whip in modern Republican history to Speaker?

Yep he just scooted right on by.........
Trump was nominated!
I find mccarthy the old guard and I want all of the corrupt old guard out. I am not pleased with this left half republican. There is not only no fight in the gop... they didn’t want to run for speaker and chance the fight.
This man.. it is reported... it is in print.. has had affairs.. if he can’t be trusted with his family... how can he be trusted in the house of corrupt..
Totally disappointed in this man who wanted it for clout and importance... totally.. disappointed. There is no humility in him.
They can say what they want about Trump... he has it all and does not need more.. he is in this to serve the people and save the nation.. Most men gauge their importance by what they accumulate.. sorry, men.. but in that bracket.. it’s true.
Steve Bannon starts his show with SAVE THE NATION..THIS NATION WILL BE SAVED!!! Mccarthy is saving himself... we’ll see how much he will do for us out here.. it’s a mess!!!!!!!!!!
