I can’t find that story, but even if true how would that placate Jordan opponents?

I just posted a story from Just the News:

I don't think it will placate the holdouts. We're going to end up with a McCarty Lite.

I think if they cannot get a GOP House majority for Jim Jordan, they will not get one for Trump.

If that is what it would take than Jordan will never have GOP cooperation.

The Republican Party is attempting to decide do they want to be a REAL political party and attempt to behave like one or to continue on as Little Me-Me Democrats.

Right now the GOP still wants to be Little Me-Me Democrats...

“We always pick on democrats for being mindless NPC robots, but on the flip side, you have to admire how loyal to the party they are”

So were the Nazis. And the Soviets.

I put that statement in quotes for a reason: another poster said it. My reply was below that.

I think his point was simply that the other is successful in advancing its agenda because it has cohesion. All the GOP has is dysfunction and weakness.

How very odd you are in hysterics about the 8 who you lost too all ready but have nothing at all to say about the 25 GOP-E clods who are continuing your pain

Why is that?

Gaetz says those voting against Jordan are trying to punish 8 conservatives who voted to remove McCarthy

lorida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz told reporters on Friday that he and other conservatives who voted to remove former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy have offered to face removal from the House Republican conference.

“If what people need is to see the 8 of us wrapped on the knuckles in order to get on to the business of governing” than we are open to consequences, Gaetz said, which includes removal from the conference.

Gaetz said he and the other conservatives would stay Republicans.

Scalise is to the right of GOP voters in some other universe.

The GOP majority exists because of us.

It exists to oppose uniparty not enable it.

“I think if they cannot get a GOP House majority for Jim Jordan, they will not get one for Trump.”

If they cannot get a GOP House majority for Jim Jordan Donald Trump will never be President. His success solely hinges on whether the speaker of the house allows Trump to be “legislated out of the running” or not.

Anyone but Jordan will organize the whole house against Trump. And you can bet there will be a very bipartisan effort in the house to stop Trump. They will legislate or repeal Constitutional amendments if they have to. And without question the Senate and Biden will help them become law. Both D and R are absolutely willing to destroy this country before allowing Trump back in office.

Adviser Linked to Pence, Kemp Working to Undermine Republican Speaker Nominee, Jim Jordan

by BRADLEY JAYE | 20 Oct 2023

A political operative who runs former Vice President Mike Pence’s super PAC and managed Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp’s campaign is undermining Republican nominee for Speaker, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH).

Bobby Saparow, called “Pence’s sledgehammer” by Politico and a “senior advisor to Rep. Drew Ferguson (R-GA)” by Axios, told Axios,

“Jim Jordan’s suit coat has a better shot of being worn for 3 hours than Jim does of getting Drew’s vote for Speaker”.

Ferguson is supporting Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) for Speaker. Scalise won the first ballot for the GOP’s Speaker nomination but failed to receive a majority of support from the conference’s voting members and withdrew before even seeking a vote on the House floor after failing to see a path toward winning the necessary 217 votes.

As we face what is possibly the most dangerous threat to our country since the Cuban missile crisis, our government is made up of entirely unserious people

They're soulless opportunists that are only interested in enriching themselves.

Unless something changes, quickly, this won't end well.
