My vote is that they’re all idiots for their utter incompetence and no plan.

Was watching Hannity last night.

He said they should keep all the members on the House floor, voting and re-voting until they can come up with a new Speaker.

Gingrich also blamed Matt Gaetz and the seven other members who voted against McCarthy. He said that set in motion a mess that they could not conceive when they voted against McCarthy. He said that we’ve seen little of Gaetz after that.

Just saw Victoria Spartz statement.

She voted for Jordan in conference, but drew back with the infighting over McCarthy/Scalise/Jordan in fighting

Even teased the idea of running again to dare McCarthy to primary her

Cole from OK nominates Jim Jordan for Speaker of the House.

Cole gave a nice speech for Jordan. Basically, he said its time for Republicans to come together and elect a Speaker.

That was why they got rid of McCarthy. He had a plan, and the plan was to continue screwing the American citizen. Not a plan that any of us should have supported.

People complain about the government, but when the few brave stand up to do just that, people want to complain & blame the brave.

This is exactly why we are losing our nation. We have become a weak society who are unwilling to fight. Instead we just complain.

If she didn't intend to run for reelection, why is she worried about getting primaried? She makes no sense.

Jim Jordon will never be Speaker. There are trillions at stake.

Steve Bannon: I Have Spies – Lobbyists Were Walking Around Cutting Deals with GOP Reps at Capital Grille to Vote Against Jim Jordan (Video)

By Jim Hoft | Oct. 18, 2023 10:45 am

Steve Bannon invited Tea Party Patriots founder Jenny Beth Martin on the War Room on Wednesday morning as Republican lawmakers continue to vote for House Speaker.

The American people want Jim Jordan as Speaker. The RINOs and DC insiders want an ‘old bull’ to take over the speakership.

Steve Bannon broke this news during their conversation. Lobbyists are reportedly buying off RINOs for their votes.

Steve Bannon: I have spies everywhere. Folks were calling me last night from the Capitol Grill, which is the worst of the worst, and the lobbyists were literally walking around cutting deals with people at the tables. They said, a couple of people that are going to be added to this, they were in full view, maybe having a few adult beverages, cutting deals with the lobbyists to vote against Jordan.

Via The War Room.

Cole spoke accolades for Jeh Johnson the disgusting Democrat and United States Secretary of Homeland Security that bused in Somali illegals from a camp in Mexico during the Obama Admin.

That’s the kind of anti-American scum we’ve allowed onto the GOP.

But he just nominated Jim Jordan, so there’s that.

No further nominations, but the critters can still vote for someone not nominated. Roll call vote in progress.

McCarthy got 180 on his first round back in January so Jordan has started off better. McC both was up and down after that but finally got to 217.The FC chair expects to lose a few votes in the upcoming round . This gonna take a few.
.
UPDATE 11:15 a.m. ET:

The House is currently voting on a quorum call, which establishes attendance levels. If all members are present given two vacancies, the threshold for Jordan to win is 217 votes. There are 221 voting Republicans, so Jordan can only afford to lose 4 votes.
.
one dem was absent. still 217.. if a no votes present then it becomes 216.
