House Republicans have named Elise Stefanik as their new Conference Chair to replace Liz Cheney.
According to the Club For Growth, which has the gold standard of scorecards in Washington for measuring conservatism, Ilhan Omar has a better score for fiscal conservatism than Elisa Stefanik.
Republicans in the House chose Stefanik against Chip Roy of Texas, who is in line with the conference. They did so because Kevin McCarthy told them to. The lemmings have booted Cheney for someone less fiscally conservative than Ilhan Omar.
Like the Bourbons of Frace, the GOP has learned nothing and forgotten nothing. They will undoubtedly take back the House of Representatives next year and we will see again the rise of intraparty fighting that led the base to burn it all down and go with Trump. And, again, the GOP will deserve it.
I am not a fan of a majority of Republicans and rarely vote for that reason. I voted for Trump because he was a nice change. I will not vote if my only choice is a RINO or a Democrat. Example, I do not think Kemp has done a good job. The things he wants credit for are simply things he should do by virtue of party. Kemp has not shown he’s a fighter or a Leader. Kemp reminds me of your typical Chamber of Commerce type Republican.
I am leery of the Club for Growth because we are currently seeing them spread lies about a Congressional candidate in a special election. They contribute heavily to Ted Cruz who, in turn, has attacked the candidate.
