Majority in the GOP caucus is not enough.
The whole House votes on Speaker, and the Speaker must have an overall majority.
The liberal Tuesday Group of the GOP has enough votes to deny a conservative enough votes in the whole House, just as the Freedom Caucus could deny the job to someone like Cathy McMorris Rodgers.
GOD HELP US if camera ready kevin is speaker. NOTHING trump wants will get done, it would be like Pelosi is speaker.
Only way to guarantee rino kevin isn’t speaker is to defeat him in the primary.
He doesn’t need supporters on FR, he needs 218 votes in the House of Representatives. He doesn’t have them.
Thumbs up from me.
No chance that Jordan will get the position with so many wet noodle spines in congress.
Sure, it looks like heavy lifting at this point, but why throw in the towel when the bell has barely rung for Round One.
All indications are that the political winds will be blowing in the face of the Repub Nevertrumpers by early summer as the Mueller probe implodes and anti-Trump GOPers will suffer damage in the backwash of blame and recrimination.
At that inflection point Jim Jordan will be waiting to take the presently moribund Congressional Republican House in into a new and dynamic direction.
Let's give the guy a helping hand rather than a knee to the groin.
Worth repeating.
And. it would be surprising if our make-it-happen President doesn't recognize this as representing a great opportunity for him to move the MAGA agenda forward by "encouraging" votes for Jordan.
My guess is that’s dumbass remarks like this one that got your FR page suspended forever.
TROLL ALERT!
B- but only because his RINO buds skewed the grade.
Thanks, Dick, I did manage to find it also. Definitely some grading on a curve, there.
I would rather see Tom DeLay as the new speaker
