House Leadership Megathread: it's House of Cards but without the monologues

Whoah, Paul Ryan also supports Price.

Price is pretty right of center, no?

Price is very right of center, but so is Scalise, and Price doesn't have the baggage that Scalise has.

And being from Oklahoma and knowing the congressionial field, I'm very surprised that Tom Cole, a Boehner ally and a guy obviously rising through the ranks, isn't going for spot #3 and Markwayne Mullin (who, for all intents and purposes, is a backbencher even compared to Cruzite Jim Bridenstine from my district) is running for it.

I feel like Cole really, really screwed something up in leadership a while back, but I can't remember what. 

He could've. I can't remember either. But Cole's obviously the only guy in the Oklahoma congressional delegation I wouldn't be completely ashamed to see in leadership.

You don't like Bridenstine?

My positions overall have changed, and I mean, Bridenstine is better than Mullin or Lucas, but he's very much a bombthrower and not the brightest bulb.

God I hope McCarthy stomps this little cockroach Chaffetz into the ground. Nothing would bring me more joy.

If I was Obama I would "leak" a Nixon-style White House recording, consisting of maniacal laughing and saying stuff like "at last, Paul Ryan, the man who will bend to my will!"

and now... MY DREAM OF A SOCIALIST HELLSCAPE SHALL BE COMPLETE!
