You have fallen so far down into the abyss that you can't see tonight the demented POTATUS Joe Biden is en route to the Israel war zone, Heels Up Harris is next in line for succession, followed by the illustrious Patty Murray. This is what your darling Matt Gaetz and the Democrats have brought you. Be proud. Own it.

Jordan got close to 200 votes today. Twenty RINO's voted "no". Yet here you are blaming Gaetz, (and by extension) Jordan and the 197 Reps who voted yes whilst you give the 20 uber RINO's a big fat pass.

I get it. You're an unobjective, overwrought RINO.

Apparently an agreement to give more aid to Ukraine despite Jordan being consistently against it.

Hastert was a sexual pervert.

I would never compare Sarah Palin to Matt Gaetz.

At least Palin was a fairly successful governor for a couple of years

I’m not a fan of the so-called moderates, but I’m also not a fan of downright stupidly.

Yeah, there are already about 50 "third parties". What would it hurt to have one more?

Ya, we need to stick to these two parties. Look how well they've done for the past few decades. Homeless everywhere, we're being invaded by millions through our lawless borders, we're in debt 33 trillion and their foreign policies are costing trillions more. The last compassionate war they jumped into cost us 4 trillion...And all we won after 10 years was debt and death.

Jordan didn’t even get as many votes as McCarthy. This is only a situation because Gaetz colluded with the Democrats to take out the Speaker. This is not an insurrection than J6 but a long shot.

Do your own reading! There are multiple reports that Jordan has agreed to allow commingled funding of the two, to vote on Ukrainian aid. Does he despite his previous opposition. So yes, he is trying to compromise, it’s up to our house representatives to turn this down.

I wouldn’t trust any MI results, but I would also chalk up MI-3 to outright racism and the candidate also being massively outspent.

As for OH-9, I haven’t researched it enough. Ohio is a bit better with clamping down on voter fraud, but anything within Demonrat-controlled areas are automatically dubious. OH-1 was dubious.

It’s a mystery to me how the community didn’t catch on to Hastert’s sexual deviancy for years.

McCarthy was the speaker at the time he got marginally more votes than what Jordan just got. The fear of retaliation from the empowered McCarthy was obviously a factor.

Add to that most Republican voters prefer Jordan over McCarthy. Why one would discount that, I don't know.

Add to that McCarthy already colluded with Democrats to pass the debt limit increase and the latest CR. How one would also ignore that, I don't know.

Add to that McCarthy, the one who was "insurrected", supports Jordan. How one can ignore that, I don't know.

And finally, the use of the word "insurrection", similar to the way the media misueses the word, is kind of Uniparty creepy.

Gaetz acted heroically.

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.

Whups - had a window minimized that I missed. So, a bit late:

The most recent ABC/WaPo showing them gravitating to Trump.

That's because MOST of those voters are not suddenly turned deep red MAGA, they are MOR voters seeing the cognitive decline in Biden. For them, they go with the candidate they think can best run things, ideology(s) coming in second.

Polls show that, too, but try going out and talking to a broad spectrum of people, if naught else.
