Word on the street is that Jim Jordan may actually lose rather than gain support on this second round of balloting because he really is the worst. Oh, and New York Republican members, if you vote for Jordan as your leader, you will wear that around your neck come November next year. Voters don’t like extremism. You’d best remember that.
@georgetakei Unfortunately there are a few voters who do like extremism and it's a decent part of why we are currently desperately flailing at the brink of the destruction of democracy in America.
@georgetakei Gym's team have been threatening the Republicans who aren't supporting him. In at least one case, they threatened the wife of a Representative, warning her that her husband would never win another election if he didn't get on-board with Jordan. Those tactics are causing these members to double-down on their opposition to Jordan.
@georgetakei I live near Stefanik's district, but not in it. I get to hear her TV ads pushing extremism and get annoyed when she lauds Jordan as the best candidate for Speaker. However, I don't get to vote against her.
Then again, I'm not represented by her, so there's a bright spot. I'm much happier being able to turn off her TV ads knowing that I have a sane Democrat representing me. I wish people in Stefanik's district all the luck in kicking her out.
