Ladies and gents the new house majority leader.
 
About as predictable as the sun coming up tomorrow. McCarthy was next in line.
 
The GOP didnt learn thier Lesson.
 
I'm shocked. Surprised. Amazed. Flabbergasted, even.
 
Labrador would've made things interesting, to say the least. But this will almost certainly mean more of the same old gridlock as usual.
