Do GOP ‘Moderates’ Have the Stomach to Block Jim Jordan? (pulling their hair out piece)
Yahoo News ^ | 10/17/23 | Sam Brodey

Posted on 10/17/2023 4:13:51 AM PDT by cotton1706

One by one, GOP lawmakers—colloquially known as “moderates” or “institutionalists” or “establishment Republicans”—have recanted the unequivocal opposition to Jordan they expressed just days ago and thrown their support behind him.

The abrupt shift surprised Rep. Jared Huffman (D-CA), who said on Monday afternoon that he believed “a bipartisan compromise speakership was inevitable just 24 hours ago.”

“The responsible governing types in the Republican conference,” Huffman lamented, “just fold like a cheap suit every time.”

Noting Jordan’s leading efforts to contest the outcome of the 2020 election based on bogus voter fraud claims, Huffman said the fact that Jordan “is going to be holding the gavel in the institution that counts the electoral votes… that is terrifying, frankly.”

“It’s just stunning that all of these Republicans would go along with it,” he said.

Seems like Rat Party Headquarters doesn’t want Jordan to be Speaker. I wonder why!

No such article was ever written about swing district Democrats voting for a San Francisco radical.

Bogus voter fraud claims. .. ...
Bogus claims are all this left regime has. Joe no more won 2020 than it is possible that he did, zilch.

The RINOS in the Republican conference,” Huffman lamented, “just fold like a cheap suit every time.”

Gee. Just noticed that did you? LOL!

Think back to 2000...Gore v Bush. SCOTUS ruled on the case.And forever after came the chants of "biased court". Every judge in the country...*every one*...learned a lesson from that. That lesson is: "don't ever touch a case that is connected to elections".

That's why no court would rule on 2020 in the days/weeks after the election.

Of course there was fraud...major fraud...and it deserves to be investigated. But it won't help us...conservatives/Trump supporters...at all. At least not now.

OTOH...investigating the laptop? You betcha! Get Hunter...Jim...and others under oath.Or at least attempt to. That's when the *real* run begins.

The best way to see Jordan is a man whose conservative convictions will not let him back away from doing what’s right for American citizens. He’s driven by finding the truth and his wrestling background shows his dogged determination to reach that objective. Gaetz and he will make a fine tag team match.

Assuming that Jordan is elected Speaker of the House in January 2025, that would be awesome!

If you want that...then you should have left Jim where he was.

Jordan no doubt understands moderate GOP members well enough to provide the necessary assurances. (1) He will not press them to vote against the desires of their district. (2) That Jordan and his leadership team will do their best to keep conservatives from hammering them for following the inclinations of their district. And (3), that he will provide material help toward keeping their seats at election time.

According to Liberty Daily, the phone lines to congress people are melting down as voters DEMAND that Jim Jordan win.

Fortunately they are folding for our side for once instead of submitting to the leftists.

Actually, the new House counts the electoral votes, along with the Senate, and Kamala Harris, not Jim Jordan, will be holding the gavel (in her role as President of the Senate), but if Jared Huffman exposes his ignorance of the Constitution while wetting his pants - what else would you expect?

The Supreme Court made a huge mistake hearing that case, and we are still paying for it.
