When will the House realize Jim Jordan will not be elected
Speaker and move on to another candidate? This is making Republicans look bad, very bad. Democrats are the evil party and Republicans are the stupid, feckless, party. Get it together and elect a Speaker!

Actually, I think it is wonderful. We’ve seen decades of the Establishment steamrolling everything, where every move was predetermined and the outcome already known before the question was even asked. Now we watching a political free market in motion. Good. If you love freedom, then you have to embrace the ups and downs of being a free people.
The modern Republican party is a criminal enterprise and it’s all coming out now. You redcaps are dangerous fools.
Exactly. The Republican Conference looks foolish, unprofessional. This will affect the elections to come. Many people in the public are now saying how can we support Republicans, they can’t agree with each other. Shameful. We currently have a situation of world wide disruption, and need our House to work, with Republican Leadership. The way it is going it will allow the demorats to do what they want.
