You need to keep up. Donald Trump is orchestrating the placement of Jim Jordan into the House speakership. Do you think for one minute a conservative could normally ever get 217 votes? The answer is no! The majority of the GOP reps are always moderates. They won’t vote for a conservative Speaker. Hence Kevin McCarthy getting elected.
In the normal course of events Scalise would easily have been elected to succeed McCarthy. Suddenly out of nowhere MTG is in front of the cameras everyday seemingly running the show and deep sixing Scalise with we need to let Steve heal from cancer. Then Jim Jordan who couldn’t get 10 votes in January is suddenly being brought forward in closed door conference and next thing you know Kevin McCarthy is incredibly endorsing him and it looks like Jordan is actually going to be speaker. Which is an event to rival the second coming. Can you even imagine some of the phone calls that moderates have received in the past few days to make them vote for Jim Jordan? Not to mention who had a chat with McCarthy.
Matt Gaetz has been doing Trump’s bidding since they boxed McCarthy in last January to the new vacate rule. that was just the first installment of what is happening now and what is to come in the next 5-6 months.
You need to let yourself go up to the 40,000 ft level of consciousness and see the big picture and quit worrying about the speaker ship chair being vacant for a few weeks.
As noted previously, you appear joyous about Matt Gaetz winning a coup, with little regard for the dangerous situation in the Middle East where thousands of U.S. sailors and pilots are deployed, with more on the way.
