I don't want Scalise, and I think Donalds is a real stretch. He'd mainly be a token black dude in that position, since he was only elected in 2020 and needs more seasoning to take any kind of leadership role.

Jim Jordan might be the one guy who has credibility and respect across the entire GOP caucus in the House.

Yes, but as lee martell writes in another thread on FR,

There have been several times when Jim Jordan was asked, begged even, to take an open leadership position. Everytime, he has said ‘No’, for his own reasons. This has gone on for years, before, during and after the embarrassing John Boehner Era.

I figure, Jim just didn’t want to be the top man who gets all the blame if things don’t go well. That is his choice. Best to be honest. Now, suddenly, Jim says that he wants to be Speaker. Is that right?

Donalds is no token. If you have ever heard him, his is very knowledgable on a host of issues and articulate. He is 100% Conservative. He doesn’t hesitate to strongly make his points. He is forceful and thoughtful. I don’t know who will win but I hope it is Donalds.

Another Trey Gowdy!🥱
