Last night on his radio show, Hugh Hewitt was praising Kevin McCarthy, noting that he’s a protege of his predecessor Rep. Bill Thomas (R-Calif.) whom he called a “Reagan Republican.” He must have meant a Ronald Reagan, Jr. Republican.
Well HH is a GOPe guy so no surprise there. My understanding is that Tom Price (GA) is running and has been endorsed by Ryan and Hensarling, Scalise (LA) is running and I’m not sure who else. Tom Price is a really good guy. He would be great. But I’m sure they will end up with McCarthy.
Saw an interview of Kevin McCarthy on Fox this morning. First I’ve ever heard or seen of him. Hope it’s the last.
First impressions: He sounded scripted, rehearsed, and FWIW yet another BS artist. I forget the exact question given to him, but he was so quick to say how necessary compromise was... not quick to say how important value are. If he’s elected I can see him working deals with Obama just like Boehner did. I saw a career politician only looking to keep the gravy train coming.
