1. Jim Jordan is an improvement over Kevin McCarthy
2. Jim Jordan is not (unlike, say Scalise) in current leadership
3. We aren’t going to get Donald Trump, the Ghost of Murray Rothbard, or Mark Steyn to be Speaker.
4. The article doesn’t propose an alternative.
5. Pickings are lean, the person has to accept the job, and he has to get nearly ALL the Republicans.
6. Any future leader knows that his position is in jeopardy. Killing someone is easier the second time.

Unless the author can posit a credible alternative, I am ok with Jordan. Or nobody, if that works strategically.

I had the same assessment about Jordan. Something changed but not sure what. Aside from that, Jordan is the best choice considering the rest of the herd of RINOS.

Hey Sundance,

It is your opinion that Jordan is corrupt/compromised? Who - including the entire human race - is not corrupt/compromised at least to some degree? Oh...you are the exception? Because apparently you have rock-solid discernment and infallible judgment.

Pathetic.

Perfection is the enemy of practicality.

Jim Jordan may not be perfect, but he is better than most others. As a lifelong republican (since 1972-Nixon) I am fine with Jordan. At least he is not from a deep blue state.

I think McCarthys ouster and Jordan’s installment was a well laid plan that has been in the works for some time now by archetects Trump, Gaetz and another 7.

Well played.

Trump was about the only one I trusted in D.C. From my perspective, everyone who’s been in power in the past 40+ years are part of the group who’ve overseen historic epic debt, wide open borders, millions of homeless, 10 year long compassionate wars costing 4 trillion, widespread government corruption at the highest levels...on and on...

You want to see the boat rocked and the leftists (from both sides) on the run? Put me in as Speaker. Would need a security detail at all times.

I hold that the Deep State can only be defeated by a team including connected Deep State insiders willing to switch sides at a critical moment.

Jordan might perhaps be one of these…or not.

Let’s face it -— the only type to get enough votes in the current House is the DC swamp rat.

“widespread sexual abuse in OSU’s wrestling program.”

Whoa, they really have something big hanging over Jordan's head...Not.

Jim Jordan? Speaker of the House?

About time he went for it.

It’s a nice thought but it’s unlikely that DJT will find the time to become the Speaker. Court trials, running for President... He’s got a lot on his plate.
