McCarthy is probably the least vile here but as long as they turn the process into a sloppy, embarrassing slap-fight, I’m good with it.

Good luck pukes. Its the Kiss of Death I hear.

Holy mother of god, Hensarling or SESSIONS? god save us all.

Two TX critters who both make a stump turtle look like a genius. If one of them becomes leader, I may never stop drinking.

They should just blindfold those that vote and play pin the flagpin on the lapel. Whoever gets the most pins…WINS.

“Young Guns” That’s just such an embarrassing moniker from the start. Some day all those “young guns” are gonna be “old farts” and that title will be even more hilarious then it already is.

They already are old farts. IIRC, the median age of the “young guns” from the 2010-2012 cycle was something like 50.

“This is the only guy that reaches across the big divide that we all know has been in the conference for a long, long time. We need to be uniters and not dividers, and I think Jeb Hensarling’s the only guy that can do that.”

Well, let’s be clear here the “reach” is only across the divide of the Republican party. They only want to split things in half, not into thirds.

That’s EXACTLY what I was thinking. So now, when Republicans claim to be uniters, not dividers, they’re only talking about within their own party. Good lord!!
