Jordan loses votes in second Speaker voting session

[JimH52]

It seems the pressure campaign launched against those opposing Jordan is not working. The circus will continue, but it seems like a Jordan terror attack is unlikely. Voters are watching and coming to the conclusion that repubs just cannot govern. We are approaching what seems like a government shut down, and repubs are still playing game. Where do they go from Jordan?

The GOP should ask Nancy how she got 225 votes.

 

[g5000]

The best part is that Hakeem Jeffries got 13 more votes than Jordan.

The organization formerly known as the Republican party is a shit show inside a clown car wrapped in a dumpster fire.

No...no..no... Hunter Biden's laptop. Everything starts there.

Jordan is not a savvy insider, he is a firebrand outsider and his clumsy and clownish attempt to strongarm his way into the Speaker of the House is going to stiffen the resolve of those who oppose him.

This from yesterday... Rudderless? Dysfunction?

Now listen to this Jordan suck-up...

Elitist Republicans don't like winners like Jordan. They're also not smart enough to see they're destroying their party. These globalist, establishment, warmongers can't see that their days of power are over. We don't need any more Paul Ryan, John McCain, GWB types. MAGA, government for the people

Republicans are going to fuck around til Jeffries is elected Speaker.

The Mafia style tactics that Jordan and trump use is not working so well, huh?

Jim Jordan’s allies tried strong-arming his GOP critics. It backfired.

“The one thing that will never work with me — if you try to pressure me, if you try to threaten me, then I shut off,” GOP Rep. Mario Díaz-Balart said.

"They're also not smart enough to see they're destroying their party"

And you are with the Freedom Caucus who doesn't get anything done. What exactly is their purpose?

Democrats are talking about pushing votes to McHenry to move legislation.

Their purpose is obstruction and destruction. They want to tear down, not build up.

Some history where it comes to counting votes...

"Pelosi first won the Speaker’s gavel in 2007 with 233 votes, beating out Republican John Boehner who received 202 votes. In 2009 Pelosi won again, 255-174. Previously, she had been elected first woman House Minority Whip (2001) and first woman Minority Leader (2002).
In 2019 Pelosi won the Speaker’s gavel again, 220-192, beating Kevin McCarthy. And in 2021, she again won, 216 to 209, again beating McCarthy.
In 2016 Roll Call’s Jonathan Allen called Speaker Pelosi an “Unequaled Vote-Counter.” In 2022, CNN’s Chris Cillizza wrote Pelosi’s “Secret Sauce” was “Counting votes.”

Nancy Pelosi delivers devastating response to Jim Jordan’s failed speaker vote

Democratic Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, the first woman Speaker of the House, who served from 2007 to 2011 and once again from 2019 to 2023, had a few choice words for House Republicans after their failed attempt to elect a Speaker Tuesday afternoon.Pelosi first won the Speaker’s gavel in 2007...

Well, this doesn't look good for the rest of the world. They see this as a laughing stock. First with McCarthy when he went for the votes back in January. It took McCarthy almost a month. But it only took 24-hours to oust him.
