[MAGA Macho Man]

I believe that this still has to have a public vote by the entire house. Is this correct?

Yes. But it's a done deal. Jordan already called Scalise to congratulate him.

 

[Mac1958]

Holy crap. I wonder what THAT means, with Trump's endorsement of Jordan.

 

[bodecea]

Matt Gaetz's perfect timing to decapitate the House leadership just before the Hamas attack, isn't it?

The "freedumb caucus" will reject him. He's part of the "establishment".

 

[Lakhota]

Scalise may be the lesser of two evils - but he's still evil.

What could the house do to impact the situation there in any way?

No surprise there, but I wonder, what is better about Scalise than McCarthy?

At least with Jordan, I could have some hope of real positive change in the House Chamber.

I guess that's why Scalise will win.

Nothing ever changes.

 

[rightwinger]

So let’s see if MAGA is satisfied with Kevin McCarthy’s scalp or if they will continue to cripple the House

nothing?

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

nothing?

It means his TDS flared up!

 

[Crepitus]

Didn't good 'ol Steve once refer to himself as "David Duke without the baggage"?

 

[okfine]

Look what happens when you are endorsed by Trump.

 

[rightwinger]

Look what happens when you are endorsed by Trump.

Trump does not have the clout in the GOP that he thinks
In many cases, a Trump endorsement is the kiss of death

 

[jc456]

He needed to release one like a fart.

remember when the Bernie nut job shot him playing baseball?

 

[whitehall]

He won the nomination, not the post.

Excerpt from the posted link:

The House Conference also rejected a motion to require 217 Republican votes for a candidate before the ballot goes to the House floor.

Under GOP rules, the conference is now expected to support the winner of the secret ballot.
