Didn’t McClintock criticize the ‘rebellion,’ against Boehner? I realize it saddled us with Ryan, but at the time, we had more than reasonable cause to reject Boehner.
Perhaps—I don’t recall. My recommendation is purely from various observations here in California over the years, which have earned my respect generally, regardless of specific stances such as you cited.
I should add that, compared to most California politicians, McClintock is an arch-conservative. Even Darrell Issa seems lately to be wobbly.
I thought that went very very badly. Don’t take the king if you don’t have somebody ready to step in and take over.
