I just don't see it happening. But I've been shocked before - starting with the result of the 2016 election and what transpired thereafter.

Maybe not now, but he will eventually, any entity MaraLago can use is putting immense pressure on the GOP holdouts to cave, they even got AM radio and Hannity directly intimidating any resistance, eventually, due to frustration, they will vote for Jimmy

That’s alright, no GOP moderate could ever win the seat, nor will any GOP representative work with the Democrats for a compromise, so if it weren’t little Jimmy it would have been another

And Democrats are now surely going to connect every GOP representative to Jordan/Maralago in 2024, especially after little Jimmy shuts down the Government and impeaches Biden on hearsay

It's just so depressing how little the GOP is ruled by the extreme wing that values anarchy and "owning the other side" over governing.

The House is expected to vote Tuesday afternoon on whether to make Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) its next speaker. Jordan, a conservative firebrand who is allied with former president Donald Trump, was chosen by fellow Republicans on Friday to lead the House but must win a majority in the full chamber to take the gavel. Jordan, the Judiciary Committee chairman, has mounted an aggressive pressure campaign to gain the support of more than 50 Republican holdouts skeptical of his ability to lead. Jordan can only afford to lose four votes on the floor.

I don't want Jordan.
 
Jordan will end up losing votes in the second round. A normal person would have dropped out after the first ballot, but Jordan is a clown.

It's almost impossible to have not sponsored a bill that became law at least ONCE in 16 years, but Jordan has not once managed to find the acorn. Yeah, let's let him run the House. An insurrectionist that tried to steal an election. A legislator who has NOT ONCE written or sponsored a single successful bill. Who are the dumb fucks that keep sending him back??

There are 20 GOP holdouts against Jordan. That's a lot of arms to twist.

I do not think they will be moved. They do not want an election denier, who ignored a 1-6 Committee subpoen, to have power. They do not want the embarrassment. He screams and yells about everything. He has no adult control. He has no respect from the center and left. He is not a Repub in policy either. The Repubs are ungovernable. They just keep fighting in public. Jordan will not make that better.
 
Another Trump endorsed candidate LOSES. Trump has become the worlds biggest loser. He loses at everything.

Please, please, PLEASE run him for President.

You would think so, but today's GOP never ceases to surprise/disappoint. Another thing that cracks me up is the GOP blaming the Dems for unseating McCarthy. For fuck's sake - McCarthy's a trump suck-up lying election denier who bashes Dems right and left. Did he really expect a Dem to vote for him? And besides, it was McCarthy who agreed to the stupid "one can vote to vacate rule". How about blaming fucking Matt (the sex trafficker) Gaetz and the 7 other magas who voted against him.

Today's GOP is exactly like the nazi's - scapegoating everyone else for their woes.
