McCarthy has been #2 (double entendre intended) in GOP leadership for eight years now. During those eight years, we have seen the House GOP sign off on roughly $15 billion in new debt. And now, his desire to become Speaker supersedes anything else.
Sums it up. The Swampy RINO faction expects us to get in line, vote for their leadership, don't question election results, go along with their bipartisanship bootlicking, always do what we're told, always step and fetch for party unity.
But when it's going the other direction, they refuse to back down no matter how many times they lose. McCarthy is now a three time loser. He needs to stand aside for the good of the party and support someone who can win.
