"We’re going to either see improvement up here the same way we made remarkable improvements in North Carolina in the state legislature, or I’m out," Bishop told Roll Call in an interview published early Thursday morning. He said that over McCarthy's 14-year tenure in Republican leadership, the would-be speaker has said the same things over and over again about threats facing the country and "every one of them has gotten worse, not better."
As someone who is "older than the average bear" and "not going to stay up here for decades," Bishop told Roll Call he has no qualms about adopting a "never Kevin" position in the ongoing leadership fight.

So, Representative Bishop, can we put you down as a “maybe”?
More winning.
Nominate him! Principle matters!
.
What’s important is that Sean and Kevin are happy together.

very mature - ‘If I don’t get my way I am taking my ball and going home’ - that is not what politics is about.
No one has ever won a war by quitting.
That’s PRECISELY NOT what he’s saying. Amazing how you can glean that from his statement.
“Winning,” as in our majority is reduced to three? I favor stonewalling the efforts to remove that clown Rep Santos. But if they succeed…
Majority of 2? Sounds swell. What’s the worst that could happen
don’t forget that Hannity was G W MORON’s biggest cheerleader and constantly slammed the true patriot at the time, Ron Paul. I thought maybe Hannity was coming around during Trump, but he didn’t.
He also was no help on exposing obama’s non-NBC mysterious background. Always a tick-tock with a major letdown to follow making us all look like a55es.

It’s called selflessness.
He’s willing to walk away
from power
and money
Not be a quisling.
Not go along to get along.
You should try it sometime.
>>That’s PRECISELY NOT what he’s saying. Amazing how you can glean that from his statement.
“One member of the group, Dan Bishop of North Carolina, went so far as to say he would resign from Congress if they are unsuccessful in their effort to bring about institutional change in the House – which they do not trust McCarthy to deliver. “
Please do explain what I am misinterpreting...inquiring minds want to know.
>>It’s called selflessness.
It’s not ‘selfless’ at all - a selfless person would work for the change they want to see, even if/when some votes go against them - quitting is a losers way out.
But I guess thats the way you run your life, first sign of adversity - run away.
You a real peice of... work. Being nice...
>>You a real peice of... work. Being nice...
and you are an idiot - and I am being nice,
if you think republicans quitting congress when they don’t get their way is somehow ‘winning’, then thats just dumb and a recipe for failure.
No one has ever won a war by quitting.

But I will concede you do have a point.
I wouldn’t hold it against him though.
He’s pointing out that You, being a supporter of McCarthy, and others like you are about the Status Quo and keeping things the same. You say you want fighters but when fighters step up, you want them to sit down, shut up and do as they’re told. Nothing more.
Bishop knows that McCarthy isn’t going to do a damn thing nor even try. He’s the definition of the SWAMP.
Bishop is pointing out folks like you and those that think like you that you’re supporting a clown, with too much hairspray in his hair and a tailored suit, that will accomplish nothing.
But I guess thats the way you run your life, first sign of adversity - run away.
