>>”If Jordan says as Speaker he won’t allow Ukraine aid, he won’t get voted as speaker.”
Agreed. That’s just the reality. Electing Jordan as speaker isn’t going to solve all our problems, but he moves the center of gravity of congressional Republicans closer to the patriot coalition and further from the GOPe.
“...he moves the center of gravity of congressional Republicans closer to the patriot coalition and further from the GOPe. “
I agree with that. He is publicly opposed to Ukraine aid, which is where almost all of the base is.
In my view, the GOP biggest problems that most of the elected politicians and the rest of the party elites are hugely out of step with their voters.
The Dem elites are much closer to their voters.
