How to Be a Doormat

David Frum spoke to Charlie Sykes about House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA):

“There needs to be kind of like an anti-Robert Caro book about him. So, Robert Caro wrote all these volumes about how people can parlay things that never seem to have power — into power. You know, you’re the parks commissioner of New York City, you’re the Senate Majority Leader at a time when that’s like one of the worst jobs in American politics. And people take these plays, they discover potentiality for power, and they build power.”

“OK, now we need a book about how you can be leader of the number two party in the House of Representatives, and soon-to-be Speaker of the House of Representatives and be an absolute doormat.”
