“His comment was so over the top that I wondered: Is McCarthy really this inept and stupid or did he do it on purpose to help Clinton.”

He didn’t do it to help Clinton. He did it to help Boehner twist the knife further into Conservatives. And for that reason alone, he should not be speaker.

McCarthy granted the last wish of a dying man.

McCarthy’s comments on Hillary and Benghazi show that he is incompetent.

I didn't know anything about him. Was even thinking I might give him the benefit of the doubt.

As you said, his comment showed incompetence.
I'll go further and predict Hillary's numbers jump up some.
I vote NO.

I’ve heard Hannity interview a few candidates. True, it is while I am working, but I can’t tell any difference between them; they are fast talkers and evade Hannity’s direct questions.

“Especially one who’s even less intelligent than Boehner.”

No kidding, what a knuckle dragger! He would be a disaster, a GoPee version of Joe Biden!

Charlie McCarthy will eventually win and he will be just a bit better than Boehner on so issues. When he takes off his mask on amnesty he will face a crisis worse than Bone head did because it will be strong and quick. The problem for the GOPe now is we have realized we don’t need them.So none of this is very important.

“Deirdre Walsh @deirdrewalshcnn
House Freedom Caucus endorsing Daniel Webster for Speaker of the House, according to Rep Matt Salmon”

Probably means McCarthy is going up for a floor vote without enough Republican support.
-Because he wouldn’t compromise with the conservatives.

The Dems will put him over... and that’s the end of the Whigs.

We’ve got these GOPe traitors on the ropes. Time to tell McCarthy to go crawl under a rock.

Actually, in this case, secret ballots might well aid the challengers to the GOPe.

They wont be on record as voting against, so won’t be subject to reprisals.
