LOOKING LIKE A NO-GO FOR JIM JORDAN

 



"A number of House Republicans are in talks to block Jim Jordan’s path to the speakership. One senior Republican who is part of the opposition to Jordan said he believes there are roughly 40 “no” votes, and that he has personally spoken to 20 members who are willing to go to the floor and block Jordan’s path if he forces a roll-call vote on Tuesday. 

 “The approximately 20 I’ve talked to know we must be prepared,” the member said. “We cannot let the small group dictate to the whole group. They want a minority of the majority to dictate and as a red-blooded American I refuse to be a victim.” -- Jon Cooper




Why would anyone back a candidate for House Speaker who wanted the 2020 election overturned so that the loser, Donald Trump, could be illegally installed as president and turn this country into a Banana Republican, third world dictatorship?

Jim Jordan should be in jail (he refused a Congressional subpoena!) not running to be 2nd in line for the presidency.

Plus, he's a blithering performative idiot.

It looks like the odds are coalescing in Jim Jordan's favor. If this red hot authoritarian firebrand succeeds the cancer of rRumpism will only grow in power until, like Germany during the reign of the Nazis, personal liberty will be but a fond memory.
