I feel the same way about Jordan as I feel about TFG - Since he is following TFG's "orders" Rhiannon12866 Oct 2023 #2

Does that mean he has the votes? ntp AnnaLee Oct 2023 #3

No, he still needs 217 votes which he is unlikely to get - and that includes Democrats Rhiannon12866 Oct 2023 #4

I hope his run lasts long enough to air and reair his dirty secrets. marble falls Oct 2023 #5

I don't think he stands a chance, he's way too controversial Rhiannon12866 Oct 2023 #6

He needs to be elected by the entire House, not just Republicans. He is only this week's choice by the Republicans.

But I also hope that his nomination stands long enough for all his dirty laundry (complicit in the insurrection) to be aired across the news.
