That is exactly what I have finally learned. Career politician leaders are just puppets of rich donor class and lobbyists.
Scalise is probably the better choice and who I wanted for the job. Partly because Jordan likes what he is doing and he’ll be taking a lot of flack....cuz...no matter what....The Demsa have the Senate and Biden’s Mighty Pen.
uh oh, I take back any support I might have had for him.
Totally wasted opportunity. This guy will suck.
“Scalise is McCarthy lite!!!”
I like him. I think he will do a good job.
Gaetz didn’t want the fight. Not sure why they got rid of McCarthy.
are you saying his politics changed because of being shot?
This will make Trump more popular once they cave in 30 days or so. Jordan would have caved as well but Trump has nothing to do with this phony.
Maybe personal.
Congress is loaded with narcissists, egomaniacs, and sociopaths.
I have listened to Scalise, he is a reach-across-the aisle soft talker. Will be worse than Paul Ryan.
Scalise is a good man.
Was this all personal with Gaetz clothed in principal for effect?
Jordon was pushing a continuing resolution to January.
This is not on Trump. The GOPe have made it clear time and time again if Trump wants it they don’t. Remember when 90% of them didn’t want to give 3b for a border wall. Suddenly they’re all on Bidem about it.
“This is a blow to Trump if you think about it. He endorsed Jordan.”

Optics aren’t great, but don’t forget MOST OF THE CUCK Republitards opposed him when HE WAS President.
I’d say they’re just playing by the same playbook-—
McCarthy wouldn’t have gotten elected to begin with if the party caucus didn’t want someone like him.
The idea that Gaetz’s maneuver would have resulted in somebody substantially more conservative was delusional.
But leftists hate Scalise so much that he might not turn out to be that bad.
From the AP: “Scalise, as the second-ranking Republican, would be next in line for speaker and is seen as a hero among colleagues for having survived severe injuries from a mass shooting during a congressional baseball practice in 2017. He is now battling blood cancer.”
Probably a sympathy vote. We needed a pit bull (Jordan) but we got someone who is gravely ill. Only the Republicans could do something like this.
The House is supposed to represent the will of the American people.
Jordan, like Trump, represented the will of the people and the overwhelming voice of republican voters.
Scalise is probably a good guy, but I think he’ll prove to be another Swamp apparatchik.
The money laundering scheme known as “funding for Ukraine” will continue without oversight.
This is a defeat for the American taxpayers.
What a shame.
There are a good number of GOP congressman that are afraid of conservatives. They walk a tightrope trying to conceal it, but every now and then a few expose themselves. Cheney and Kinzinger come to mind. And everyone knows what happened to their political careers.
