Yeah, I saw that poll. Sorry for my limiting beliefs. Jordan has a shot. I was just responding to what seemed liked uncalled for criticism of Newt Gingrich’s support of the Build the Wall, Enforce the Border Act. It just sounds like some people would give up the wall just so they could have a more pure conservative for speaker. Can Jordan as Speaker get everyone to agree on the wall?
You don’t have to be sorry, I think you were probably right (maybe not about “zero chance” but McCarthy is a heavy favorite to be sure).
McCarthy was smart enough to stick by Trump during the election while Ryan peed himself over the Billy Bush tape, the President damn sure remembers this and may well endorse him and that would probably be the ball game. There was hardly any resistance to Ryan’s 2017 reelection after Trump backed him.
Obviously though Freepers hate McCarthys guts and are gonna resist.
I’d prefer Jordan myself of course but I’d put my money on McCarthy.
As for the bill, it sounds like a good one, no matter what McCarthy’s motives are in proposing it.
As for Newt, I’m not a big fan but yes some people on this thread are being harsh. I read the article and Newt is trying to hurt Pelosi’s chances of being Speaker, not Jordans.
