...The effort marks a rare instance of coordination among at least four prominent outside groups as well as a handful of smaller conservative groups with big nationwide followings. They include Club for Growth, FreedomWorks, Conservative Leadership Fund, Tea Party Patriots, and For America.Leaders of the groups, including Ken Cuccinelli and Adam Brandon, have been making calls to lawmakers they’ve helped legislatively or politically in the past. The groups also are recruiting activists to attend town halls and press rank-and-file Republicans to get behind Jordan.And on Sept. 26, more than 1,000 conservatives are expected to attend a Jordan-for-speaker rally — then hit up GOP offices to make their case for the Ohio Republican in person.“I think we’ve reached the point where we’re just sort of tired of watching the dog chase the tail in the House,†said David Bozell, president of For America. “We’re tired of watching these guys not know what to do with the Senate, of not having a plan to get from A to B, of having no strategy.â€...

Funny, I didn't see Trump's name in that whole article.
McCarthy's overture — a Washington version of rock band Van Halen's infamous 1982 request for backstage bowls of M&M's purged of brown candies — illustrates the lengths many top congressional Republicans have gone to build a rapport with Trump.The move also underscored McCarthy's singular role as Trump's friend and fixer over the past year — a courtship of backslapping and flattery that has led to eye-rolling among Democrats and skeptical Republicans.
It should be. Nothing else matters https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/kevin-mccarthy-relishes-role-as-trumps-fixer-friend-and-candy-man/2018/01/15/a2696b4e-f709-11e7-b34a-b85626af34ef_story.html
He's the President - are you saying they should have no rapport? Is Trump to be both equally blamed for having and not having a rapport?
Congrats future minority leader McCarthy.
What's McCarthy paying you? Inquiring minds want to know.
Nothing, and I won't be voting for any of the congressmen he will be leading.
Maybe so! But I can't hold you a candle in the stupid department! Yes! For so long as he continues to advance the ball toward my goal line!
@Bigun I'm sorry I called you stupid. I don't believe that. I actually admire your style. I was angry you called me a democrat. I have seen you criticize President Trump, but I'm happy you're satisfied with the results so far. I can understand with successes like tax cuts, court appointments, and a rollback of Obama EOs this is the best you could hope for, and it's a reasonable opinion. I deleted my post.Peace?
