Good to know. Scalise I still think would have been the better choice, but McCarthy is....not terrible I guess? He is more steadfast than McConnell, but he does waffle a bit too much for my taste.
My impression of him is that he's just doing his best to balance competing factions in his caucus. He's not doing great on that front, but it's hard to imagine anyone else doing much better. He's an improvement over perennial bitch boy Paul Ryan, which is admittedly damning with faint praise. He's not actively sabotaging us like McConnell, so there's that as well.
