      Ask McCarthy how things work out when you welcome the crazies into the party and assume you can keep them in line.

      And yes, I’m fully aware that McCarthy was one of “the crazies” back when the tea party was considered the extreme part of the GOP.

        I was more talking about the “controlling him” angle, because he was absolutely unmoored from reality on day 1 and never got any better.
