Raúl Labrador Running for Majority Leader

Great News. I like the little I've heard from him so far.
He definitely seems moderate and he seems genuine in his desire to help the poor as well.
The best thing about him is that he grew up with a single mother from Puerto Rico though.
Maybe it will remind people of Obama's background.

It seems like that McCarty guy is the more moderate one anyways. According to Washington Post he supports immigration reform.
Also, he comes from a family tree where everyone are/were Democrats. Can't see how that could be negative in anyways. Probably means he's used to negotiating and bargaining.

Uhhh... Labrador is not a moderate in any way.

Yeah, I've read that he's a tea partier unfortunately. At least he embraced/supported the rescue of Bergdahl though. That makes him humane at least. (Even if Bowe is from Idaho as well. He could just as well have disowned his own "child".)

So the next Majority Leader is Hamilton's Congressman.

Cringeworthy.

But isn't it really fitting that the Republican majority leader will be a McCarthy?

McCarthyism lives very well in the 21st century as well, no doubt.
