    There is a large enough group of Republicans that are not going to vote for Jim Jordan or anyone else from the Freedom Caucus. Not so much because they Jordan is not acceptable to them but simply because they refuse to hand Matt Gaetz a win.

      I think your right on this. Gaetz screwed up by starting this with such a small group of Republicans on his side. The 8 republican votes to challenge McCarthy in a full house vote definitely struck a nerve with the overwhelming majority of the Republicans who supported McCarthy. I generally like Gaetz, but it was a dumb ass move, especially without a confirmed replacement established prior.

            Johnson, 51, of Louisiana, swept through on the first ballot with support from all Republicans anxious to put the past weeks of tumult behind and get on with the business of governing. A lower-ranked member of the House GOP leadership team, Johnson emerged as the fourth Republican nominee in what had become an almost absurd cycle of political infighting since Kevin McCarthy's ouster as GOP factions jockeyed for power. While not the party's top choice for the gavel, the deeply religious and even-keeled Johnson has few foes and an important GOP backer: Donald Trump.


            it's Mike Johnson

                  I made one revision to Speaker Johnson's list. One that is far too often overlooked. Everybody likes the Individual Freedom but far too many ignore Individual Responsibility part.

                        I think "in control" and "republican party" is a oxymoron

                          Republicans ....

                          So effectively, because the GOP majority in the House is so divided, it’s only operable if Democrats want it to be.
