Bland Ambition of Kevin McCarthy: everything it takes to rise to the top: 0 interest in policy, relentless thirst for power, & blind ambition to Trump

[basquebromance]

Kevin McCarthy began his political career as the protégé of House Republican Bill Thomas, playing the role of unlearned but affable foil to his wonkish mentor.

If this man becomes speaker of the House—look out, America.

The Bland Ambition of Kevin McCarthy

excerpts:

“I spend a lot of time thinking about the next Congress.”

Kevin McCarthy, the Republican minority leader in the U.S. House of Representatives, meant this comment generally, rhetorically questioning how Congress could heal in an era of intense polarization—a somewhat ironic train of thought, given that the words came in a speech, delivered November 18, that was centered on attacking Democrats. But there was clear subtext: If Republicans won the majority in the House in the upcoming midterm elections, McCarthy could be the next speaker of the House.

The dumbing down of the grand old party is near done, Are the Dems going to join them?

Judging by your endlessly fickle posts, you're even more of an empty suit than McCarthy.

The thread title is a classic example of how stupid you truly are.

Is it blind ambition or bland ambition?

I looked at Youtube to find clips of him questioning witnesses in hearings, but couldn't find any. His accomplishments as a congressman seem pretty skimpy. Being elected nine times in a district next door to San Francisco seems to be his main claim to fame and power.

Bakersfield CA is next to San Francisco?

What committees did he serve on? Answer that question and you will find out why you cannot find any video of him questioning witnesses.
