Discussion: Scalise Says He Won't Run Against McCarthy For House Speaker

Putin wants Rohrabacher, but a dimwit who won’t do anything to ruffle Trumpp’s feathers would do.

Hot potato!

I recall that Kevin McCarthy’s ascendance to the Speaker position was derailed because he was banging Renee Ellmers and had to have his wife and children visit the House to make the case he had family values at home.

We have Preshitident Manslut-Peehooker in the White House who is brazenly and openly Putin’s dickholster, who is whoring around with pornstars and peehookers and is going to bat on the moral high ground with pedophiles like Roy Moore. The usual standards for being a conservative family values Republican have slipped a bit.

Kevin, you’re so cute. Here’s a quarter, go play to juke box!

Yah, but will either be in office come next February?

Wait, what? I thought his downfall was everyone realized he was a dumbass, but this makes more sense from an optics standpoint. I don’t think anyone in the GOP caucus would personally have a problem with him having an affair with a collegue, but they would be severely bothered by the optics if it came out.

That too. Kevin McCarthy was wreck and could not form two coherent sentences together. Kevin McCarthy, candidate for Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, 2015, had memorable quotes such as:

“I have visited Poland, Hungria, Estonia,” he said, and also “visited in our, uh, the allies in the Arab Gulf.”

“If you look at every rate where you go through, America is the second highest where they go. If you look at how the jobs are departed, you find that statistically we are too high.”

People quickly realized that the only things Kevin McCarthy had ever done in the House were to name a post office in his district and have an affair with Renee Ellmers. That’s why the good wife and family showed up.

Renee Ellmers was primaried out by family values evangelical conservatives in North Carolina for banging Kevin McCarthy.

It’s easy to see whom the Koch Brothers prefers. Did take long for them to lay down the law.

I thought Ryan was staying through this Congress. Why would anyone think the Rs are going to have a contest among themselves to name the Speaker of the next Congress? Scalise could just as easily promise to not claim the throne of France, and that would be about as generous as graciously agreeing not to contend for Speaker.

I am thinking that Paul Ryan’s resignation could be grand Kabuki theater so that he will be begged to reclaim the scepter of Speaker again. You can trust a conservative.
