it is the freedom caucus types the jim jordan stooips types, that convince john boehner, i m out of here. now kevin mccarthy has that job, but in the minority. he has less fruit if you will to hand out. less ways less prizes to hand out. i will read this from jim garty, the national review, if being in the majority leads to more bomb throwing than being speaker of the house, jordan might be ideal for the house. if the house freedom caucus thinks they can do a better job, maybe it s time to put up or shut up. but kevin mccarthy wants this job. now he has to deal with this. yeah. he s. i think the president is probably going to get what he wants. partly because i think he recognizes that this is going to be a little of a pr battle. they won t have much power when democrats take over. so he wants his people on televilgs. he wants them vocally defending him, vocally fighting back against the nancy pelosis of the
