I could definitely see a Scalise-Cheney battle for the spot, with the former winning comfortably. But, this is if the latter doesn't join the Senate.

Only if McCarthy is steps down before Enzi retires from the Senate. Cheney probably still has eyes on the upper chamber.

Agreed.  I could also see Mark Walter (R-NC) rising in the ranks to leadership.

He's the most natural fit for the alt-right/white-nationalist theme the Republican Party is now taking under Trump. McCarthy and some of the other old guard, bless them, come from a different time.

Hysterical, borderline defamatory hyperbole like this is part of the reason he was almost murdered

A. The guy speaks at white nationalist events. What I wrote is factual.
B. Normalizing racism and alt-right mythology gets us Charlottesville and innocents beaten up or run down by cars.
C. He was not singled out by the shooter for his record; the guy was aiming for Republicans without discrimination.

Scalise confirmed this in 2014

Reportedly said he was "like David Duke without the baggage"
