McKarthy objected to a roll call vote. He convinced about 30 or so to write his name in. Came time to vote out loud and Kevin got zero votes. I think maybe they are uniting.

He talks a good game. But no way a non swamp creature gets elected. It just aint going to happen with this congress.

He wants 12 separate spending bills. May have to go along with CR at first in the interest of time.

Media now calling him an election denier. That’s good right?

Romney is criticizing him, so that is a plus for him.

Did some digging... Hasn’t really done much. Definitely Pro-Life, which is good... but just kinda... meh... otherwise.

Some of his votes suggest an inclination towards smaller-government conservatism... Which we need... but not much in the way of Leadership.

Well, Johnson has a Liberty score of 74% as opposed to McCarthy at 54% so hopefully he gets to 217.
