Trump gave conservative Rs an excuse to refuse Scalise with his sincere concern about his health in a very stressful and demanding job.

Jordan has softened his red-meat conservative attitude and will win the job when Rs realize they look incompetent.

They thought they would get RINO McCarthy 2.0 in because of the urgency. Hopefully we can get conservative 1.0 in there because of the urgency, eh! Win-win!

“Two down. Trump for Speaker.”

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Exactly, its what I have also said since the beginning of this mess.
If Trump doesn’t become Speaker imminently, we will continue our Republican self destruction and tear each other apart to a point of no return. This means the Democrat would take over.

Our republican representatives in the House are acting like spoiled brats.

Trump is the last hope.

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

And the result? A couple youtube videos we can use as proof our representatives are upholding their promises. Anyone remember McCarthy passing a bunch of stand-alone bills and crowing they had upheld their commitments?

“He would have been McCarthy 2.0. That would be insanity.”

Exactly. Why change if the new Speaker is a McCarthy clone? Jordan at least has some fight in him.

BREAKING: Steve Scalise has officially withdrawn his candidacy for Speaker of the House

Leading candidates are now:

Jim Jordan
Lee Zeldin
Kevin Hern
Mark Green

7 members of the GOP are out of DC, which can impact the entire process

Time to come back to work & vote Jim Jordan!— DC_Draino (@DC_Draino) October 13, 2023

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

Conservatives are a fairly rare commodity in the House. And almost nonexistent in the Senate.
