House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy signs up to be a Trump delegate

House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy has signed up to serve as a delegate for presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump at this summer’s national convention in Cleveland.

McCarthy’s move is notable in part because House Speaker Paul Ryan has said he is “not ready” to endorse Trump, even though he is the lone Republican remaining in the contest.

Good! I hope more Republican leaders will follow in supporting Trump.

He is still suspect, but maybe we can replace Ryan with him.

McCarthy seems to be positioning himself to replace Ryan when he gets Cantored.

Glad to read this as he is our Congressman and I wrote him a very hard hitting letter regarding the RNC< GoPe and supporting Trump....

Ha. We fought like hell to keep him out of that seat. He’s far more in the tank and less conservative than Ryan. He’s a California moderate on a good day.

That said, glad to see him sign on. The party needs to figure out how to work with Trump and find the positive agenda items...rather than trash the guy as they have done for a year. I’ve never seen them go after a Democrat in this fashion.

...He is suspect...?

Do you think some GOP would sign up to support Trump while secretly knowing they were going to stage a walk out on Que down the road ?

We rejected him and we got Ryan, maybe we should reconsider.

Or try again to get Daniel Webster.

Glad to hear it. Looks like he actually does listen to his constituents. Good guy.

He’s another. He is part of the whole Boner leadership group.

Are you saying butt-kissing works?

He’s as bad as Boner or Ryan.

Hopefully he hasn’t been replaced by a body snatcher.

“He’s as bad as Boner or Ryan.”

Are Boner and Ryan Trump delegates?

McCarthy is not as bad as they are. At least he knows which way the wind is blowing.

As each day passes and Trump progresses from being a candidate, to being the nominee, to polls indicating he will win the WH, more and more people will hop on the train.

No kidding.

Not a good history for presidents who try to tamper with the Fed.

Not sure exactly where Trump is on this but those are the toes NOT to step on

You are wrong.

McCarthy is a clone of them.

When did McCarthy ever endorse Trump? Or Cruz or Carson for that matter?

Never.

Are you that blind you cannot see sycophancy, currying favor.

Is that the type Trump would want being in leadership positions?

Spineless toadies who go any way it looks best for them to latch on to?
