6 thoughts on “UPDATE: House Republicans drop Jim Jordan as their nominee for speaker

  1. He needs a slate of fake Congresspeople to replace the votes he’s not getting.

    Or several thousand insurrectionists to enter the House chamber and scare off everyone voting for someone else for Speaker.

    1. I assume that Gaetz is just jealous of Steven Seagal and also wants Putin to give him the Order of Friendship for his contributions to international relations …

  2. If moderate Republicans in the House have even an ounce of integrity, they would put country before party. They could reach across the aisle and offer a power-sharing arrangement with Democrats to get back to work, abandon the ultra hard-right chaos, and take care of business.

    I would even go so far as to suggest those moderate Republicans could preview their move by declaring that unless the rest of their party colleagues join them, they will become Independents if necessary and vote for Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker.

    If they are not a part of the solution, then they most certainly are part of the problem.

    1. As pointed out, Jordan lost the secret ballot 112-86. On the last public ballot, it was 194-25 in FAVOR of Jordan. So most people hate Jim Jordan but are too cowardly and ashamed to say it out loud. Tells you everything you need to know about the rot of the Republican Party.

      The Tea Party was an abject failure. Call it what it was and is – The New John Birch Society.
