I’d rather see Jordan as Speaker, but then all things work to the good despite ourselves.

Not a good choice. He’s McCarthy’s man. The MAGA group will have to hold his feet to the fire and see if he keeps his word. Otherwise he’ll need to be taken out as well.

.
Let me guess, Scalise will uphold the backroom deals that McCarthy agreed to with Joe Biden.

It’s all about Joe Biden

Deliver for Joe.

I’ve got no problem with it. Scalise was the one shot by a leftist at the Congressional Baseball Game, IIRC.

Dear Conservative inc morons

Finally after all these years stop being part of the con game

Here is how this has played out since 1994. US House GOP “Oh we have to come up with bills that will pass the US Senate and be signed by the President. We have to show we can govern”

No you complete idiots you do not. You are there to represent your voters. Your job is to pass legilation based on representing your voters. If the US Senate or the White House want to oppose it, MAKE THEM. Make them go on record instead of hiding behind you.

Instead what the GOP House always does is they believe this mythology so they pass bills the DC Establishment wants and then get the GOP House gets the blame from the voters instead of the Establishment.

Grow up you propaganda stooges. Stop fanboin because you are flattered and given access to the pollical machine. Stop trying to sell DC to your audience and start telling DC to pay attention to your audience for a change

I was fine with either Scalise or Jordan.

Now, we need to act quickly to unify and vote in our SOTH.

We are in interesting times, we need our one house of congress.

Scalise and McCarthy were NOT buddies. There animosity has been widely reported. But Scalise was enough of a professional to get along.

If you think that this very-thin majority caucus is going to get anything done without discipline, cooperation, and compromise, you’re living on another planet.

If Scalise turns out to be another uniparty RINO who won’t stand up to the Democrats, there’s no point in having him be speaker.

McCarthy’s ouster by just 8 Republicans has inflated the egos of all Republicans. With Jordan endorsing Scalise that should be the end of it. But you know that it isn’t.

“If Scalise turns out to be another uniparty RINO ...”

IF. Well, then I suppose no one should be selected because, who knows?, maybe he’ll disappoint once he gets the gig.

Meanwhile Jim Jordan endorsed him.

The indications I’ve heard about Scalise are not good. Like I’ve said we will see if he is better than McCarthy or if he is more of the same.

Meet the New Boss.

Same as the Old Boss.

But at least we had a nice little Kabuki theater play to enjoy for a few days.

So it’s Kevin McCarthy light? How stupid.

We have to get rid of the rinos or this party won’t survive.
