With the departure of Eric Cantor as majority leader, it's time to replace him with someone with strong conservative values.
My choice is Steve King of Iowa.
Steve is not looking for votes, but is looking for solutions to problems.

King is a great choice.
we don’t want mccarthy or his amnesty clone labrador.
You are full of shit. Labrador has utterly rejected the GOP amnesty program. Just because he is of Puerto Rican extraction doesn’t mean he is for amnesty.
too bad your tagline doesn’t match your brain or i suspect your mouth.
you can read i assume ?
“Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Rep. Raul Labrador (R-ID) both support legalization for the undocumented immigrants already in the country and are largely in line with establishment thinking on the issue.”
Did anyone mention that “is of Puerto Rican extraction”?
Labrador was a member of the original House Gang of Eight. He has since left that group, but he has not rejected amnesty.
Proposed King on another thread
He’s the obvious soul of the Republican Party base in the House
I doubt Steve will do it.
Branstad, Chuck Grassley and Steve King need to get a better Secretary than Vilsack in 2017. Instead of talking about amnesty they need to talk about who the next Secretary of Agriculture will be.
That should unite the establishment and Steve King.
That would be a good choice.
If I'm not mistaken, he was one of the prime movers in the conservative revolt a couple months back. THAT's the kind of Congressman he is!!
If his constituents beliefs on the matter mean a hill o beans to ya, this constituent says happily, KING FOR SPEAKER!!!
Or barring that, Majority Leader at least.
Yes, if the GOPe is concerned at all about “unity” and “coming together” and all that, here’s a great way to show it - place a real conservative in the Speaker position. King would fit the bill for sure.
