Sunday on NBCs Meet the Press, Reps. Rep. Charlie Dent (R-PA) and Rep. Dave Brat (R-VA) battled over the divide between the moderates and Freedom Caucus conservatives in Congress deciding who will be the next Speaker of the House.

Dave Brat is the man. If not today then very soon. This man has it.
And that is exactly WHY Obola’s ABCNNBCBS press corpse chose HIM for this artificial “controntation” in public on Meet the Press.
The demo’s WANT and NEED this kind of “strife” from the radical republican right-wing. It will be the only way they can demonize Trump (or Cruz) in front of everybody who listens to ABCNNBCBS each night.
And I’m surprised we have not yet been subjected to the Radical Republican brand yet. Hell, they use Grant’s Big Business corruption every year since 1910.
He seems to. I hope he goes far.
Brat is intellectually so far ahead of Dent that this must have been an interesting exchange.
Brat would make an excellent Speaker. I know the inflated egos and old guard would not vote for a first termer, but Brat is brilliant, uncowed, uncorrupted, and knows how to make the case for small government and secure borders.
You said,
“Brat...knows how to make the case for small government and secure borders.”
Really?
Then why hasn’t Brat convinced the House to pass a “Border Patrol must build the border fence” bill?
And why hasn’t Brat convinced the House to pass a “clean” bill to de-fund so-called “sanctuary cities”?
I like Professor Brat but I’d really like to see a little less ivory-tower self-righteousness and a little more eagerness to work with others to help America.
First time I’ve seen/heard Bratt speak. Thought he was very well informed and was impressed with him.
“Then why hasnt Brat convinced the House to pass a Border Patrol must build the border fence bill?”
Perhaps the same reason Cruz hasn’t gotten conservative reforms through the Senate? What would it take to convince guys like Paul Ryan, McCarthy, Ellmers, Peter King, Kitzinger, Hal Rogers, Dent, etc., etc., ad nauseum?
One thing you can be sure of, though—if a guy like Ryan becomes Speaker, there will be another massive push for amnesty and no leadership support for controlling immigration.
