Jordan isn’t even close.  How embarrassing 

[C-Man 27876]

And Jordan fails on the first vote

What is the point of voting when you know you don't have the votes?

This is amazingly stupid.

[Bozo_Casanova 26997]

At the turn: 
There are Republicans who apparently pledged to vote Jordan on the first ballot only. My guess is that they will go for two, so he needs to pick up some flips. If the number gets under 6-7 my guess is that he passes on 3rd ballot. If the number goes higher or stays the same on the second ballot, the body language in the room tells me they adjourn for the day.  In the middle, we get a third ballot and he will lose.

I wonder if all the media who breathlessly reported how close Jim Jordan was yesterday will do any soul searching regarding their sourcing.  lolz

It literally fucking showed Jordan when I hit submit, and then it did it again when I tried to edit.

Because they stood up and seemed to forget who they were voting for.

I don't want to know why your auto-correct switches Jordan to Korean.  But I would suggest using a different browser in privacy mode for your other activities.

Who TF is Zeldin?

The fact they McCaul seems to be able to hold his nose and vote for Jordan is another reason why I just can’t find anything to admire about him-zero balls.

Jeffries is going to outpoll Jordan.  Maybe by a lot.

Santos sitting next to Boebert.

Scalise for Jordan.

[bernorange 8387]

14 "others".  Do they bend the knee or does the GOP look for another solution?

While McCarthy was going through his votes, the House hadn't established the rules so CSPAN was able to pan their cameras to show any and all actions in the House. Will today be the same, or will their rules prevent that? The best part of the McCarthy votes was watching who was talking to who. 

I'm also curious to see the line of guys waiting to sit to Boebert's right.

Santos is in the catbird seat.

Considering that Scalise and McCarthy voted for Jordan, I’m guessing they try to fuck this pig st least one more time. But let’s see how the vote ends. It’s at 15 now, I bet they think they can get 12 to flip.
