jim jordan is the next nominee from the Republicans. He got 124-81 within the Republicans. No way he can get enough support

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

He has more baggage than Miami International Airport.

All of this squabbling and the fact that JIM JORDAN is the Republicans idea of a compromise candidate has to make the Democrats feel PRETTY GOOD about the House & Senate races next year.

The party of Hastert that likes little boys is now the party of Jordan who likes little boys.

Hey hey tone down the rhetoric. Afaik Jim Jordan just covered the tracks for his friend who liked little boys!

Couldn’t happen to a nicer party.

I was like WTF? The party doesn't like him now and what would be in it for him?

"A neutral option to unite the party"

So that was a 60 seconds of my life.
