Or is he a RINO like some on here proclaim?

Trick question. They're all RINOs. Almost no one is excluded from that.

He’s been a RINO, and he’s actually been fairly decent so far; it’s just that he’s been spineless in the past, and everyone is just waiting to pounce when he capitulates to the Dems on things like the budget and funding issues, so they can say, “ we warned ya”…

he is a RINO but like most RINOs, he can be pressured to do the right thing. As long as the pressure is kept on him, he'll be OK.

LOL
Maybe “most conservative” but that’s not because he actually is conservative. Just that John Boehner and Paul Ryan were cucks.

So far so good.
This debt ceiling debate will be the real test. Republicans always fold on this issue. The main reason is MSM always takes the dem side and say Republicans are going to cut social security (which they aren't).
The MSM will continue the SS lie until Republicans compitulate.

Do you really think he’d be doing everything he’s done if he didn’t at the very least have some conservative leanings? Why would he allow himself to be held hostage to 10% of the republicans if he was so against them? What’s the standard to be held to (and never broken from) for a conservative lest they be labeled a turncoat RINO that cannot ever be trusted? Maybe he’s been misread to some degree by the board.

He's been shaped and molded into what he is today. Since MTG, Boebert, Gaetz, Jim Jordan and the MAGA crazies hijacked the GOP, McCarthy is only a shell of the reasoned diplomat he's always been.

Why do you think they are crazies?

According to people here the HOR is made up of 200 or so Dems, 200 or so RINOs and 20 Republicans.

The right needs to publish a plan for what they would cut.

Before reading this, you should know that at the RNC election meetings, their general counsel just got up and talked about how Google has been sabotaging their fundraising efforts and they are in litigation over that right now. And yet, McCarthy is the top advocate for Big Tech. Oh yeah, he helped sabotage the midterms for the Republicans as well. And you're like, "aw poor Kevin is just misunderstood."
For Big Tech, McCarthy is “their top advocate among congressional Republicans.”…
It’s “all part of the political game of Washington.”
…McCarthy’s antagonism toward the Big Tech companies is nothing more than political messaging. “McCarthy is reflecting what his caucus does to fundraise and motivate base voters,”…
Frederic Barnes is a lobbyist at TikTok who worked for McCarthy. George Caram…senior legislative assistant…now represents Apple. Brian Worth, former director of coalitions for McCarthy, lobbies for Amazon and Wing... Jeff Miller, a political adviser to McCarthy, also represents Apple and Amazon….
When POLITICO asked Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.), the Republican leading that bipartisan antitrust push, about his thoughts on McCarthy’s anti-Big Tech rhetoric, Buck replied with a question of his own: “He’s anti-Big Tech?”….
And Jeff Miller, if not others, were spotted in McCarthy’s office even before the Speaker fight. From https://www.politico.com/news/2022/01/19/kevin-mccarthy-tech-silicon-valley-527292

I don't think that's fair.
I think there 400 or so whores and 20 pieces of fresh meat.
