Scalese apparently wins secret R ballot as the nominee to go to the floor for full HOUSE vote... — Gateway Pundit

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That's pitiful. The Republicans who ignored Trump's endorsement of Jordan (who is squishy enough) are a disgrace.

D.C. simply refuses to kick the lobbyists who line their pockets out of government. The idea that more than a few politicians, if any, represent the People is getting more and more absurd.

Rep. Claudia Tenney reports Jim Jordan is calling for the Republican majority to support Scalise.

Very disappointing. Once again, there are enough House Rinos to cramp Jordan’s nomination, in the same way that Scalise could not get votes from the Freedom Caucus. I do not know how close the vote was.

Jordan is not a grasping person and wants a resolution to the vacancy to avoid wrangling with Democrats “nay” sayers.

Dems may prefer a vacancy or may be relieved Scalise bested Jordan in the vote. Scary the hours we will wish we had back.

Isn’t it though. The “people” have been no threat to the RINOS for decades. When we finally unified and managed to mail-it-in, to vote for Trump, or to live cast a vote, we were happy, but we were spent. All tuckered out.

So, the Left stole the vote from us on live TV, in ‘20. The “people” memed. Not sure what’s changed over the decades. Trump is feared. The “people” are still a punchline with a voter card.

So, the Left and Lindsey went to War(s). The “people”... say what?
