I believe there are other plans for Scalise in the works. McCarthy will take it and I really have no problem with him. Some of you folks are looking for some non-existent person for the job.
“Some of you folks are looking for some non-existent person for the job.”
The problem is the Republican caucus. McCarthy is just a symptom of a much bigger issue.
F. Chuck Todd?
Talk about the kiss of death.
scalise already said he supports mccarthy for speaker
I agree that Scalise is the favorite to become Speaker if McCarthy fails but I don’t think he’s any better than McCarthy.
I seem to recall that when Scalise became the house majority whip in 2014, he fired the most conservative staffers.
Regardless, McCarthy needs to go. He’s toxic.
Scalise would be great choice but to be fair, Chuck Todd has never been right about anything he’s evr predicted.
I’d rather have Andy Biggs or Jim Jordan. Nothing against Scalise, but I don’t think he’s aggressive enough.
“I really have no problem with him”
Is why the Republican Party is dead. Stands for nothing other the Democrats. Good luck Rino.
Is he more conservative than RINO McCarthy?
“I seem to recall that when Scalise became the house majority whip in 2014, he fired the most conservative staffers.”
I believe his views may have changed after a Bernie Sanders volunteer caused a rather big kerfuffle on June 14, 2017...Ron DeSantis was there that day as well.
Look it up.
Who will support an American First agenda with realistic solutions that everyone might agree?
Yep.
“I believe his views may have changed after a Bernie Sanders volunteer caused a rather big kerfuffle on June 14, 2017...Ron DeSantis was there that day as well.

Representative Steve Scalise (R-LA)

2 out of the 3 are gone. Ryan and Cantor.
McCarthy only remains(At the moment)
McCarthy is in trouble.
Scalise is a squish, too.
We need a younger, bolder patriot.
Jim Jordan would be a good one. At least, based on his voting record.
“Jim Jordan would be a good one.”
Yes. He’s not too deeply entrenched in the GOPe group. I think he’s one of the few who have been trying to help the J6 POWs, along with Gohmert, MTG, Gaetz. All others in the House have ignored these people.
