Speakership

Chances that Jim Jordan becomes the next speaker? I’m putting at a solid 0%

Time to go find a book that will take that bet now...

You know as much about politics as you do football.

I'm sure your wife is happy you are "sporty" now though.

At least 7-8 hard no's within his conference and I can't imagine any Democrats crossing party lines, so I'm betting your right. He shouldn't have helped cover up Dr Strauss's sexual abuse of that men's wrestling team in college.

I feel like being a pedophile or sexual deviant makes people more likely to be elected for some reason… probably the blackmail.

I imagine they'll start screaming and pulling their hair out at any moment now wondering why in a divided House they can't force the election of an unqualified, partisan moron as Speaker. I wonder if the final tally will have Jeffries with more votes, that'd be hilarious.

Jefferies did lol, Jordan lost 20 votes.

Lol yeah, Jeffries almost had enough votes to have the majority and take the Speakership. Wonder if it'd be a first time that the majority party made it possible for the leader of the opposition party to be Speaker if that happened.

Jeffries - 212
Jordan - 200
Scalise - 7
McCarthy - 6

If anyone can fuck it up that bad, it's republicans. They're top tier when it comes to snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

A simple majority is not how it works.

I love how you have hope Jeffries has a chance to become Speaker.

You might know even less about politics than Soykern.
