“Well they know 90% of the base wants Jordan and it means nothing absolutely nothing and they knew that when they tried to shove Scalise through.”
Two points:
1. I Googled “jordan public polling speaker” and found nothing. do you have anything to back your 90% claim?
2. Innumerable times I’ve read how we live in a republic, not a democracy, and that a republic buffers us from the great unwashed masses seizing control. The downside to that is that we don’t have popular votes for legislative issues.
Ok what would you guess the result of polling the base on Jordan would be? It would be a lot closer to 100% than 50%. This is just like the chairman contest. They did poll the base and the last person they wanted was Ronna and that’s who we got. I think the Republic vs Democracy distinction is not part of this.
