It was a choice between two coup-conspirators. It’s not like either choice was a good one. IP: Logged |

Nope, and from what I’m hearing, neither has the votes. Hakeem Jeffries would only need five republicans to vote for him, along with the democrats. IP: Logged |

Keep dreaming. No Republican is going to vote for the far left nut job. Thirty Republicans opposed Scalise, which makes no sense since he was nominated. Looks like Jordan might get it after all. IP: Logged |

While it's true there are some really stupid 'alleged' Republicans, I doubt any are stupid enough to assassinate their own political careers by voting for Jeffries for Speaker of the House. IP: Logged |

Not surprising. Considering he only got 110 votes and 217 are needed. Jordon only got 99 votes. IP: Logged |
