"Gym" Jordan Heads For Defeat

  • 8 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols

UPDATE #2: Rep. Joe Neguse of Boulder channels the mood as “Gym” Jordan loses on his first ballot:

No word on when that next vote will take place.

In short, it’s January all over again.

UPDATE: Rep. Ken Buck votes for Rep. Tom Emmer after missing the first roll call.

—–

With the votes being counted right now in the election for the next Speaker of the House, GOP nominee for the post Rep. Jim Jordan appears to be circling the drain with at least 13 Republicans voting for other candidates–well in excess of the number needed to sink Jordan’s bid, unless a significant number of Republicans vote “present” to close the gap arithmetically:

Rep. Ken Buck, who told reporters once again this morning that he would vote against Jordan’s nomination, missed his first chance to vote in the roll call, which is leading to speculation he may be holding out to see how others vote before committing. As for Rep. Lauren Boebert, she’s reportedly sitting with her bestie Rep. Matt Gaetz and cheering on Jordan’s ineffectiveness as a lawmaker as a feature not a bug:

When your legislative philosophy boils down to the only good bills are dead bills, we guess that makes sense. We’re watching for any surprises as the roll call vote of the House proceeds, and we expect to update shortly that it’s back to the proverbial drawing board while the whole world waits impatiently for Republicans to figure out how to govern again.

  1. " Matt Gaetz and Lauren Boebert applaud when Democrats note that Jim Jordan has never passed a bill in his nearly 17 years in office."

    Not only are they completely useless, but they're also proud of it. 

    And yes MTG, you fucking imbecile, Ukraine is in Europe. 

      1. The Goose also has Obama-level oratorical skills and likeability. He doesn't have O's alpha-male sexypants aura ( at least, I'm not feeling it), but definitely has charisma to burn.

        And, oh yes, he's great on policy.
