Yep. If that one doesn’t work they’ll manufacture another.

“...in order for him to win he MUST GROW HIS HAIR LONGER...”

A’feared the hair style is a case of “you can take the wrestler out of the ring, but you cain’t take the ring out the rassler”.
I do find his rolled up shirt-sleeves and not wearing a suit coat a bit hokey. C’mon Jim, hitch up that tie, you have my GO at being Speaker even with the theatrics.

He’d be 3rd in line for the Presidency. Will give TPTB a little anxiety over how they deal with Trump.

No longer zero response. I’m for Jordan 100%. When somebody with old fashioned guts appears on the scene and takes on the establishment, he deserves our unmitigated support!!

I am in California. I know nothing about Jordan.

I had hoped that some of his constituents would tell us what he has been good on, soft on, or at least give us something to go on.

Nothing...

I have been told that other people were perfect too. And then two years later, I wouldn’t give that person a vote at all.

We had a contingent on this forum who rammed GW down our throats. He was supposed to be the second coming, to hear them tell it.

I could give other examples.

I’ve become somewhat jaded.

I try not to vote for someone based on a few good sound-bytes any longer.

“Jordan looks better and better. Now, is he just paying lip service, or does he really intend to do all that he has addressed?”

I’ll go with Jordan intending to follow through on his stated intentions. In great part though, his success will come from citizens stoking the fire under him and especially keeping the feet of opposition & obstructionists near the fire.

And YES, both bodies of Congress are corrupt. Why spend enormous sums of OPM for a job paying an annual salary of $174K-$224K? Especially when it’s a two-year gig subject to re-election? Some measure of answer may be found between “astute personal financial planning” and the “it must be a miracle” wealth some members acquire after various terms in office.

We need people like Jordan to at least run of the office, if for no other reason than to seize the platform to make his arguments.

People will hear the reasonableness of his ideas, and wonder why so many others are willing to oppose them to maintain the unworkable status quo. He may not win the race, but he wins by having his ideas break out past the stranglehold that "leadership" puts on its members.

Republicans have it in their DNA to avoid engaging in what they deem to be a losing fight, denying themselves the platform for expressing ideas that comes with that fight. Consequently, the MSM will always turn to Schumer and Pelosi for radio and TV soundbites, and that's all that the public ever gets to hear.

We need more people like Jordan who are willing to fight the hard fight when the outcome is not assured.

See, we are only trying to help him win...little things can mean a lot. I’m with you. I like the Freedom Caucus and really like what he has done. Just some observations that might make a difference.

Like Trey ... do you wish he would settle on a decent hair style??? Hmmm....?

The Establishment will never allow that.
