    Huh Romney is correct.

    According to a search of the Library of Congress database, Jordan has not been the primary sponsor of any legislation that has been enacted into law since he was elected to Congress in 2007.

    According to GWB's metric of "bills", AOC is more than qualified if Gym Jordan is.

    Right. Jordan would be an actual disaster because he has zero experience managing legislation or the calendar.

    There was a time when these clowns had a role to impact legislation but with social media and Fox News even the dumbest MF on the planet thinks they can run a federal legislative chamber.

  4. The republican party is proving themselves to be a bunch of blithering idiots. The democratic party has already proven that. The entire congress is without doubt the greatest threat to the average American. And these are the jackoffs telling people to go fight and die while they continue with the never ending circle jerk? Nope.If it comes to that I'll fight from my doorstep and not one inch further out. Lay it on the line for these worthless cocksuckers? Never again. Never.

  5. Yeh, well, if you don't even win a majority in the house as the dems did, you don't even need to worry about how to make it run with an ultra-thin majority. So there is that. Wayy to go.

    Republicans in the Trump era have botched a handful of procedural matters on the floor for a few different reasons, first and foremost being an inability to count.

    Tis the way when Fox News is the path to speaker’s gavel. Imagine Jim Jordan wrangling legislation and managing the House calendar. Woo-doggy.

    'Democrats: "Here's your boat anchor. We sure hope it's not too heavy for your boat"'.

    Democrats prepare to chain GOP to ‘far-right’ Jordan in 2024
    If the hardline Trump ally becomes speaker, “it’s not like putting a fox in the henhouse,” one prominent Dem said. “It’s like blowing up the henhouse.”

  10. Well, you have had it easy in recent history. Pelosi ran the whole show and told you how you would vote and saw that dissenters got ostracized. So you have not had to deal with the thorny problems of democracy of late in the House. Pelosi told you what to do. Worry about getting a majority in the house and report back after the election.

    Actually, I would recommend more dissent amongst Republicans in regard to the Senate leadership, not less. It has become totally fossilized by Mitch. That type of thing was right for dems/Pelosi because the dems like to follow scripts. The republicans have to deal with free-thinking and different views popping up all the time. Not a problem for dems.
