Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy's explosive Moments With Liberal Reporters

Very recommendable! Sound quality is a bit poor. Why McCarthy forgot to ask where are the tenacious journalists like Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein (of Watergate Scandal fame) today?

House Speaker McCarthy gets behind bipartisan effort to keep AM radio in new electric cars. Really!

Absurd! Government should basically never meddle with such rather irrelevant details! What a waste of time and effort!

Leave it to customer choice! Plenty of alternatives are available!

"House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is now backing a bipartisan congressional effort to keep AM radios in new electric cars, lending top-level support for what supporters say is an "important lifeline" in emergency situations and for rural America."

What’s Wrong and What’s Right With Debt Ceiling Deal

Recommendable! It seems to confirm that the Speaker of the House did not do a great job! 

Yes, in a Western democracy political compromises about the government budget and debt are difficult to reach especially when their is no clear majority for any political party. However, unsustainable government spending profligacy can not continue like in the U.S.! Kicking the can down the road is not an option!

Who is Kevin McCarthy?

First off, I do not know him very well. However, I have some hunches about him.

The surprisingly mediocre outcome of the mid-term elections 2022 for the Republican Party can to some extent be blamed on him too!

That he failed to anticipate and proactively address the issues that may prevent a smooth election for the Speaker of the House before January 3rd is perhaps indicative that he is not a very qualified leader!

How much of a career politician is he? What are his true convictions? How much of a RINO is in him?

McCarthy offers concessions to secure votes from GOP holdouts ahead of seventh speaker vote

Too little too late? What took him so long! This should have been done before January 3rd! It leaves the bad taste that this man is indeed not qualified to become the next Speaker of the House!

Are these concessions even enough or well chosen! What about e.g. debt ceiling or balanced budgets?

"... The concessions on the table, according to a source, include changes to the rules surrounding the appropriations process that would allow amendments on the floor from any member regardless of the committees they sit on, a vote on term limits for members of Congress and two seats for House Freedom Caucus members on the House Rules Committee. Congressional Leadership Fund, the independent super PAC endorsed by McCarthy, agreed to "not spend in any open-seat primaries in safe Republican districts and CLF will not grant resources to other super PAC’s to do so," according to a statement from the group. ..."

Trump urges GOP to support McCarthy for speaker. Really!

Is Trump loosing it? 

It is high time to negotiate who would be the best candidate for the Speaker of the House!

What you can fault the GOP for is that they did not do these negotiations before January 3rd!

I don't think McCarthy is a very good choice! He also has shown on occasion signs of being a RINO! It seemed, he only became an outspoken conservative when he was up for election making lots of appearance on various media outlets!

Unless, McCarthy openly agrees to pursue some conservative demands like a firm debt ceiling and balanced budgets ...

'One Of The Most Shameful Acts I've Ever Seen': McCarthy Rips Dems In Epic House Floor Remarks on omibnibus bill

Very recommendable! Unfortunately, McCarthy did not mention the 18 U.S. GOP Senator traitors, who voted for this monstrosity, a huge and very surprising omission!
I was not aware that he can be so combative as displayed by him in the last few weeks or is he only pretending now to be elected as the next Speaker of the House?
