Now Trump has an ally in the Speakers chair. Re-elect him, flip a couple of Senate seats and go to work in 2025
There is still hope for the USA....
Yes, hope.
But the political knives are going to come out for Speaker Johnson immediately.
The marxists are crying on twitter, it’s beautiful.
Even better. Sounds like a good choice. Let’s see if he can deflect the lobbyists that will storm his office...
They would do that no matter who (or what) we put in the Speaker’s chair................
Seems like a good dude..I was not familiar with him but hearing his speech he’s very humble..not cocky, just seems like a nice person
So what was the difference between him and Jordan ? The article doesn’t answer why, just that Johnson may have been enough of an unknown quantity to satisfy both sides.
RE: The marxists are crying on twitter, it’s beautiful.
Makes me start to get teary eyed.
I have to live for something other than revenge and schadenfreude but I accept my limitations and faults today.
This is a pretty strong endorsement from CBS news.
Note: The links at those comments appear to be “broken” now. They are the correct links. Have a hunch the links are being bombarded and the server(s) cannot handle the traffic.
He is a CHRISTIAN Conservative. Leftist heads will be exploding everywhere! A thing of beauty!
He gave a very good speech. I watch some hearings on CSPAN and remember him being well spoken and intelligent.
Sounds like he’s a strong conservative. But will he be able to keep the caucus in line, and hold fast against demands for more and more deficits, more and more continuing resolutions instead of actual budgets? And then hold fast for budget spending priorities which favor conservative principles?
We’ll know soon enough what his leadership style is.
Jim Jordan scored 100% with CPAC. I’d provide a link but CPAC is being crushed by internet traffic right now so no point.
Yes, we and other curious people broke CPAC’s site. Not quite like breaking the internet, but similar.
I’ll take a 91% as better than some of the alternatives.
PS I don’t think CPAC is being crushed by a DDOS attack — just a lot of hits by curious people.
I watched his speech too. This guy may be a president soneday
