His health issues aside, he would likely be a marginal improvement over McCarthy, but I would hope we could do better.
Anyone and everyone that was close to McCarthy should NEVER BE SPEAKER!
That makes clear who to support.
Jim Jordan
I'm not that much of a Jim Jordan fan, as he hasn't really impressed me on his committee work, but I think he is probably the best of those who have declared a willingness to take the job.
We've seen what the smooth, finesse guys do- they think they're so crafty that they work over their own party in order to "get things done".
But we are approaching a time where doing nothing is better than doing something when the things that get done are bad. Jordan strikes me as someone who won't just make a deal to get things done.
could it be that McCarthy has been placing road blocks in Jordan’s path? Just wondering.
Yes and he needs to think long and hard if he is willing to risk his own future as well as the future of the entire country on him not relapsing or having a health crisis when the leader is required.
I’m fine with whoever they choose for speaker, Scalise has always been one of my favorite people. I just think he needs to think long and hard before he commits to a position where a health crisis would plunge us into an abyss we can’t get out of before the election.
As everyone knows, Trump was a big supporter of McCarthy.
The only valuable reason to get rid of McCarthy was if there would have been a secret plan set right from start, where Trump would candidate for speaker of the house. Then this whole endeavor would have been a genius master play.
I would have said bravo.
But, as we now see, Trump isn’t interested about being speaker of the house at all. Thus all this circus, sacking McCarty was truly unnecessary and dumb.
Replacing him with Jim Jordan? Well he is a supporter of McCarthy as well right?
This is a madhouse!
I deeply, deeply miss the good old Reagan years.
Steve, you are okay, but not a Trump or a Jim Jordan
