Doesn’t appear possible for anyone to get the votes without support from Democrats.

Jordan just today stated he is going to have Hunter’s prosecutor in for questions.

I Want to see this happen more than the speaker contest.
Biden needs to be impeached and the Dems need to be crippled for the next year so they can’t cheat in 24.

If these guys can’t win, Trump can’t either. Maybe they will be able to agree on Jim Jordan even though he came 2nd in the Caucus - he has experience and is an effective communicator.

He would have been McCarthy 2.0. That would be insanity. Not that I put insanity past the House’s reach.

I am sick of the house Republicans, here the head of the party Trump wanted Jordan, and the base wants who Trump
wants and Jordan couldn’t get enough votes to be the
speaker.

I know why. The GOP thinks Scalise can give them more cash
for campaigns, and the donor class hates Trump because
he can’t be bought off, and he is not a RINO.

We have a lot of RINO wood to chop to get our party
back to MAGA.

It appears that the GOP Elite is getting the message from the deplorables that no more UNIPARTY games.
