Kevin McCarthy was a more effective, more conservative Speaker than "MAGA Mike." No contest.

No. They both suck.

Yes, they both are not the strongest leaders.

But Johnson is gimped by a smaller Conference than even McCarthy had - with early resignations seeming to be planned by some.

That's in part why Johnson was in late November/early December insisting that foreign aid needed to be linked with immigration.

I say in part because I believe Johnson has not been "honest" about his position on immigration reform.

That said, if there are barely enough votes to pass aid to Ukraine, linking immigration reform to such aid at this time with the Republican majority as it is will fail in a vote in the House. I'm willing to bet any FReeper on that. Name the amount.

To those who say hand the House to the Dems, think about legislation that the Dems may pass from now until November:

1) MSR ban?
2) Abortion legislation?
3) Campaign Finance?

Proceed carefully.
