Thank you. I am believing and speaking into that outcome.
Yeah a committed POS!!!

Jordan, with an a.
Good post.
To many knee-jerk snowflakes here.

“Scalise needs to get out of the way. What a jerk.”
No less than Jordan. Scalise is the other possible candidate for the position. Why, if he is actually interested, would he support a rival for the position?
The two men are well liked in the conference and have portrayed themselves as unifiers, focused on border issues and spending.

I don’t like either one of them if they are going to continue to “make deals (unifiers) with the liberals as the liberals are not going to so the only way to make a deal for the conservatives is fold! Seen too much of that already. The need to get someone into the position that is going to push a conservative agenda right down the liberals’, and weak republicans,’ throats until they gag on it. Neither will do that and admits to it.

Seems like a whole lot of “Republicans” are afraid of plain-speaking, tough-talking common-sense guys like Trump and Jordan, who’ll give the Dems a taste of their own medicine.
It’s quite obvious they want mealy-mouthed “leaders” who won’t screw up their deals.
The RINO’s are coming to the fore! At least now we know who the enemy is. Disappointed in Scalise.
The amount of incompetence and chaos among the GOP leadership is astounding.
No plan. No strategy. No direction.
Someone lock these a-holes in a room, figure it out and stop the stupidity.
Why did Scalise give up so easily trying to be Speaker?
Nation be damned as long as all their egos are fed.
Not blaming him for creating this situation but now is not the time for this nonsense. I blame Matt Gaetz more than anyone because he didn’t have a plan B in place. This is totally inexcusable and it’s past time for it to end..
>> Why did Scalise give up so easily trying to be Speaker?
Who knows, five-D chinese checkers or something.
This is crazy. We have a President with dementia, and idiot Vice President and no Speaker of the House. This country has never been weaker. The Republican party is looking pathetic right now. Why give them the majority if they can’t even do something basic like elect a Speaker.
Lead, follow or GTFO of the way. Sore loser!
This is what we did to the bush league chamber of commerce worshipping republiCAN’Ts... They are just repaying the favor.
The difference is that they are self identifying. They can’t hide.
Their careers are history.
.
Scalise was a McCarthy Lieutenant.
McCarthy was making Spending Deals out 10 months to satisfy Joe, essentially selling out his people.
Scalise is for working for Joe.
What are the hold -outs afraid of? Have they been up to some corruption that may be exposed if Jordan wins? Most likely, yes.
They keep talking about all their emotions and feelings and how they didn’t like the way Scalise was treated. Waaa Waaaa- what are they.. a bunch of teenage girls? Really disgusting to me.
