Just elect a speaker and then they can continue their internal caucus differences on legislation, that is what they should do. Save their spats for legislation, not for depriving themselves from their own majority leading the House.

I don’t see any three stars in the House - either Newsmax reported in error, or I heard wrong

The only thing we need to know is how he has voted on Ukraine aid. That will tell you if he is GOPe and representing the Tulsa urban district.

The worst rino in the world would be immeasurably better than the senile man-husk we have as ‘president’ now.

Defending Democracy Together came out with a report card for members of Congress rating their support for Ukraine aid, and Scalise was given a B on the matter, while Jordan and Hern earned an F.

This is encouraging for Hern.

“has only been in the house since 2018”

Yeah, which means he’s post Trump and was never in John Boehner’s line of succession.

We need somebody new.

He received an F from the Democrats on Ukraine. He hasn’t said yes or no to future Ukraine funding as far as I know.

So someone we have never heard of, has been in the house for four years is going to be third in line for the Presidency because of RINOS having a temper tantrum.
