I’m curious to know why everyone is infatuated with Jordan. He’s the Midwest version of Gowdy. Lots of talk.
Everyone loves him. Yet he never seems to want to step up.
There’s a really good book written by a former Delta Force member, Paul Howe. Book is titled, Leadership and Training For The Fight. Quick read. He gives examples of situations he was in and how they can be applied to life.
In the very beginning of the book is written(I think I have it right)…..those who seek leadership the most are seldom the most suited for it.
McCarthy has been there for years. He was groomed by Ryan, Boehner and Cantor. That should be all anyone needs to know.
On a side note, while looking up the Howe book, I found this:

The least inclined to lead seek leadership the most
It’s very difficult to understand why a politician who has brought his nation to its knees economically, politically and socially would so strongly, or even illegally, seek to continue leading it.
How can someone who has bankrupted this country seek to continue leading it? Lead to where? To further bankruptcy, ruin?
Unfortunately, it would seem, when it comes to political leadership, it is the least inclined who seek it the most – without political power they probably feel they’re nothing.
Thus the best suited to rule are least likely to want to, and perhaps those less suited to rule will be more inclined to desire power due to their own sake, personal aggrandizement.
To understand this behavior better I turned to great philosopher Plato’s wisdom.
According to Plato only those who do not seek power are qualified to hold it. Those who seek power are not worthy of that power.
The times I’ve seen him on committees and questioning people, he seems to be a fighter and goes after the people...
‘...It’s very difficult to understand why a politician who has brought his nation to its knees economically, politically and socially would so strongly, or even illegally, seek to continue leading it.

If, in these comments, you are referring to Biden, that man is too demented and too lost to see what he’s done to the country...he only knows what he is told by his handlers...
Being speaker is about building consensus. Since when has Jordan built consensus. He knows if he’s speaker, and an effective one, he’ll end up being thrown on the heap of previous Republican speakers. Those to the right of him, and some exist, would eat him alive and others would pile on.
