The House of Representatives has voted for a third time on Republican Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan for speaker, and for a third time, Jordan has not obtained the necessary votes.
Jordan obtained 194 votes from Republicans, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries had 210 votes from Democrats, and 25 Republicans opted to vote for candidates other than Jordan.

Lets get the cards on the table. Nominate Trump and lets see how the voting goes.
Chad Pergram reporting that “GOP votes to drop Jordan as Speaker nominee. Will move on to other candidates”
“What’s their end game> Jeffries? Please”
What people don’t understand is the sky is not falling. These 25 will not risk going as far as to vote for Jeffries. And Jefferies cannot win without their R votes!!!
It would seal the fate of their career forever. They won’t go that far, they are bluffing and Jordan just needs to keep calling their bluff.
I doubt Diaz is ever MAGA
“Won’t be any different than what the RINOs offer. So be it. Let it all go to hell. We’re never going to get out of this nonsense until it does.”
Scare tactic bluff anyhow. Jefferies cannot win without their votes. And I really do not think they are stupid enough to cross that line and actually vote for Jefferies. It would be the end of their careers and probably lifestyle forever.
“How many any of these folks were against the McCarthy ouster allegedly due to “institutional” concerns?”
Since the “Institution” is actually a corrupt criminal Cabal, they have a legitimate concern when seen from their point of view.
That, and they just want contining resolutions so they never have to be held accountable.
here’s a 25 RINO list from Breitbart. I haven’t compared to prior 22 but looks like the last 3 are the newbies.
.Keep calling these scumbags,it can’t hurt.

Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE)
Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-FL)

A list provided above including their margin of victory in 2022.
The VAST majority of this list won their races by over 5%. They have no business betraying their voters like this.
Only 8 of these are not safe seats. The rest are. This situation is likely orchestrated by the PARTY who are trying to stop responsiveness to voters and instead, acknowledge the elevated intellect of the elite.
Don Bacon of Nebraska 51.5-48.5
Vern Buchanan of Florida 62-38
Ken Buck of Colorado 61-36

F’ these bastards.
No wonder the GOP can’t get it together.
Good to have names to go with the treachery.
agree, thank you
agreed. I was stunned to see him on that list. Will never give him money again.
I live in Tom Kean’s district. If we can’t primary him out, I am voting Democrat. He a true son of his arrogant RINO daddy.
THESE SOBs are the readon the GOP will never impeach Biden, Mayorkas, Morland or ANYONE ELSE.
Unless we can PURGE the party of people like these villains, the GOP will CONTINUE to walk American back-step into communism rather than fight DemocRats. They are the equivalent of the British TORY or Conservative Parties
The hanging up on you tells how much they respect their base. When election time comes should we vote/not vote our conscience or do we vote for the lesser of two evils. Should we vote for the corrupt RINO who disrespects us?
GOP sucks root. Now we can see why.
Amen...Republicans are a mish-mash of double-digit IQ women, communists, and weak squishes. F ‘em ALL.
It will get worse before it gets better. The separating of GOPE and America first politicians is taking place before our eyes.
McCarthy didn’t keep his word so he got fired. The GOPE is in extinction-burst death throes. It’s hard to watch but it is necessary.
I am happy when RINOs are unhappy.
