Gaetz had 8 republicans go along with him and all the democrats. They have to be smiling.
The RINOs are revolting
And they’re ugly too
Like the Pelosi they long to have ruling over them.
Don't blame Gaetz for the actions of the 25 RINOs who are unwilling to vote for Jordan. They are the problem.
McCarthy promised to release the tapes so everyone could see them. He never did that.
Letting one Fox employee see parts of the tapes is not "releasing the tapes".
Defense attorneys for people locked up in jail need those tapes, not Tucker Carlson so he and Fox can make money.
Nonsense.
You can’t whip 218 votes AGAINST a sitting speaker while that speaker is in power. It's an impossible thing to do. The plan was to vacate McCarthy, put the conference in the the standard position to vote for a speaker and then whip up the vote and try to win behind some other suitable candidate who doesn't want to spend our country into oblivion.
Gaetz did all he that should and could.
Buh-bye, GOP. I’d rather be represented by the Keystone Cops...
Note: Jewish CongressCritters are voting lock in step with Jeffries and The Anti-Semantic Squad? But our 25 will not vote for Jordon! Outrageous.
No wonder the GOP majority will not elect Jordan for Speaker.
Guess I did not consider that. Yup, you're correct.
In his district?
In other words, the plan was no plan at all.
>>I suspect he will be removed by the voters soon enough.
Good!
If that's your understanding of it, I can't help you further.
He has a 54 or so conservative rating. Jordan is 94. Thoughts?
Amen!
What?
43% approval. The rest of congress is at 17%
What is wrong with people? Gaetz is hot at that rating.
The only thing keeping gaetz from being the most popular congressman is his potentially wimping out. Trump sticks with his arguments. Let’s see gaetz do it
At 43% rating he’s hot
The rest of congress:
“The most recent polling data from September 2023 puts the approval rating of the United States Congress at 17 percent“
No he didn’t..
Form another Republican Conference with the 8. Then start picking off all that you can get from the current one and see which one ends up with a majority.
Poor timing.
What is the conservative rating of the average voter/Republican voter? Are they out of step with that? I do know that on abortion pretty much ALL of the Republican Conference is out of step with three quarters of Republicans on the question of exceptions. I do know that Jordan has a 97% with the Taxpayers Union vs Scalise’s 82%, which seems a bit more realistic than your 40% differential.
