GOP holdout Dan Bishop (NC) says he will RESIGN if bid to stop McCarthy fails
Fox News ^ | Jan 5 | By Chris Pandolfo | Fox News

"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.

I’ve never heard of this clown. Nobody will miss him if he leaves the swamp.

Notice that his comments were very broad "just get it right like we did in North Carolina." Ummm, OK.

No mention of spending, immigration, investigations, primaries.

Somehow you are confusing quitting with fighting - quitting is the exact opposite of fighting.

"What’s important is that Sean and Kevin are happy together."

You mean Kevin Faboo and Luntzberace, don't you?

NOOO! Dan Bishop is a good one. He’s my congressman. He needs to stay....or better yet replace Tom Tillis in the Senate in a few years.

I just heard he’s clarified, and claims he was misquoted or misunderstood.

He may retire at the end of his current full term, but not before.

Committing Harakiri because you lost a battle in a big war went out of style more then 77 years ago.

You are right, this is how you work for change, by denying McCarthy, once he is in power, nothing will change cause nothing can change. You can’t be “working” for change once McCarthy becomes speaker, the work is over. Why smack your head against a wall unless you lust for power. Most go to congress with good intentions and then they are sat down on day one and told how things are going to be. You do as you are told or no committees, pork or reelection help. So what are you to do once the leadership is chosen. Have you ever talked to a congressman or senator who has said otherwise? Maybe you haven’t followed this stuff long enough, you seemed to be well intentioned. So what if the majority goes to 3 or 2 or 1 if nothing is going to change. Boehner boo hooed about only having 1/2 of 1/3 of government and that you can’t keep kicking the can down the road, then spent the next 6 years kicking the can down the road. Oh yeah in small meetings Boehner would MF Pelosi left and right then roll over to her in congress like they all do. The only change that can take place is here and now.

Let me tell you what’s gonna happen Kevin McCarthy Takes the gavel;the Hunter Biden investigation will be shunted off to a committee who will investigate until Well after Biden is out of office. Set committee Well then is a Milquetoast report, which will then be promptly forgotten
