5. Question is will 6 or 7 hold their ground on principle opposition to Jordan?

My guess is the McCarthy and Scalise votes will convert to Jordan, or most of them will. The rest are who knows.

6. Nobody voted for Trump?

Disappointing.

7. Thje vote was rigged. Fake members of Congress using people's

names, faces, and voices on TV. The Donald won bigly. It's a witch hunt. Scandalous, some people say.

8. One encouraging aspect of this

The ones most likely to flip for Jordan (the Scalise votes) are not enough to make him Speaker, even if they all flip.

It's still tight, but it might be enough to encourage him to give up. Of course, knowing Jordan, it might be few enough to organize credible threats to their families and their personal safety, too. Only when Jordan is proved to be unelectable and removes himself from the race can we breathe a sigh of relief. Believe me, this is one evil operative we do NOT want in the Speaker's chair. That he's even this close gives me the shudders.
