How soon before Dems and relatively sane GOPers decided to put Steve out of his misery and coalesce around a different candidate? This is an utter humiliation for the new so-called majority.
@RationalLeft True, but that was before the reality of this utter humiliation made itself plain.
@LiberalLibrarian Bob Good, one of the main holdouts, is demanding Scalise or Jordan. Actual Nazis instead of a mere Nazi apologist.
@RationalLeft And I want to have a nice romantic dinner with Jennifer Lopez. Life is full of disappointments.
@LiberalLibrarian In the 2nd round, all the defectors have voted for Jordan.
@LiberalLibrarian What an absolute catastrophic mess the R party is.
@RationalLeft Whom the majority of GOPers can't stand. This is just... Gonna be a long two years.
@LiberalLibrarian As bad as a Jordan speakership would be for the country, it would be even worse for the R party's future prospects.
It's lunacy.
@LiberalLibrarian That would be the best outcome, but so far only 1 R I know of has even mentioned it as a possibility.
