Can someone please explain why the GOP holds not one but two elections for their speaker with the knowledge that Jordan will not receive enough votes from jump street?? this action once again proves just how unstable the GOP has become The GOP are not only disfunctional , they seem to be mentally ill seems to me the GOP has a death wish
What you are witnessing is the end of the Republican Party. They have a slim four vote majority. Despite that, they are doing all they can flush that down the toilet. How many independent votes do you think the Republicans are get in 2024 after this performance? A pox on Matt Gates (intention misspelling) and the other seven skunks who brought us to this. A pox on the 20 idiots who cast votes for candidates who had no chance of winning. What we need now a leader, not petty spats. I am a completely disgusted Republican.
The chaos created by Republicans in the House continues. They are incapable of conducting any business of government, and we have no idea when that will end. Jim Jordan was asked recently if he believed that Joe Biden won the 2020 Presidential election. Jordan said no. Biden did not win the election. Apparently, the speaker that the Republicans want is someone who still wants to overthrow our elected government, although that is quite impossible today. Jordan is a poor choice to defend our Constitution. CNN reports, "Conservative Republican Rep. Jim Jordan fell significantly short of winning the House speaker’s gavel on a first ballot Tuesday, leaving the House in paralysis after 20 Republicans opposed the Ohio Republican. "The vote, in which Jordan failed to secure a majority of the full House, was a disappointment for Jordan’s allies who had expressed hopes that the number of holdouts would be in the single digits. "Immediately after the vote, the House went into recess, giving Jordan time to try to convince his opponents – a group of GOP moderates and allies of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy and Majority Leader Steve Scalise – to change their votes. "Jordan had initially considered holding a second vote on Tuesday, but he told reporters that the next speaker vote would be at 11 a.m. ET on Wednesday." Despite the fact that the Republicans hold the majority in the House, the Democrat got more votes than Jordan both times. No doubt the forum's Republicans will continue their silence. After all, what the hell can they say? But they want to pick our next President, and their overwhelming choice is a man charged with 91 felonies within four criminal indictments. The man is Jordan's powerful cheerleader.
Evidently the opposition is organized to bleed Jordan out with every vote. I don’t know the point of it but Jordan doesn’t have the support he thinks he has. The 3rd round will be worse, -20, -22, ???.
And yet, you guys lost to them? Sad! Some Republicans Want To Expand McHenry's Powers as Pro Tempore Works for me. Give that a try for a week or so, and then make him officially Speaker, just in case something happened to Bribed Joe and Kackles, if the Speaker is vacant, Patty Murray would become President of the US.
